description

Two independent studies by Rakoff-Nahoum et al. (2006) and Uhlig et al. (2006) in this issue of Immunity have illuminated a unique pathogenic role of innate immunity via Toll-like receptor and interleukin-23 signaling, respectively, in intestinal inflammation. These data define new roads to gut inflammation and future avenues for therapy.
