The role of type 2 innate lymphoid cells in eosinophilic asthma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Eosinophilic asthma has conventionally been proposed to be a T helper 2 driven disease but emerging evidence supports a central role of type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). These are non-T, non-B cells that lack antigen specificity and produce more IL-5 and IL-13 than CD4+ T lymphocytes, on a cell per cell basis, in vitro. Although it is clear that ILC2s and CD4+ T cells work in concert with each other to drive type 2 immune responses, kinetic studies in allergic asthma suggest that ILC2s may act locally within the airways to “initiate” eosinophilic responses, whereas CD4+ T cells act locally and systemically to “perpetuate” eosinophilic inflammatory responses. Importantly, ILC2s are increased within the airways of severe asthmatics, with the greatest number of IL-5+IL-13+ILC2s being detected in sputum from severe asthmatics with uncontrolled eosinophilia despite high-dose steroid therapy. Although the precise relationship between ILC2s and steroid sensitivity in asthma remains unclear, controlling the activation of ILC2s within the airways may provide an effective therapeutic target for eosinophilic inflammation in airways diseases.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
