Abstract
A recent surge of interest in tuft cells, which are chemosensory intestinal epithelial cells, has uncovered new functional roles for these cells in colorectal cancer, metabolic signaling, and type 2 immunity. Here, we explore emerging evidence suggesting that tuft cells are critical for protection during enteric infections and inflammatory responses.Entities:
