    innate immune cells that respond quickly to infections and inflammation

    Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs) are a group of immune cells that play a crucial role in the body's first line of defense against infections and in maintaining tissue homeostasis. Unlike adaptive immune cells, ILCs do not have antigen-specific receptors but can respond quickly to signals from damaged or infected tissues, helping to orchestrate the immune response and inflammation.
