Now in #Science#Immunology: Deshpande, Klose, & al at Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin report that #ILC2 resident in #PNS communicate with neurons via #IL13 to maintain #nerve structure & pain thresholds. Mice lacking ILC2 or whose neurons are Il4ra-KO exhibit #hypersensitivity & #gait defects!

And this hyperactivation reshapes chromatin architecture. CUT&RUN and 3C at the IL4RA locus revealed enhanced H3K27ac at distal enhancers and long-range enhancer-promoter contacts (~50kb) that simply don't form during IL10 stimulation. Bypassing feedback rewires 3D genome organisation. 9/10
