Do IL-7 R+ innate cells orchestrate autoimmune pathology?

Immunopathology in autoimmune diseases is promoted by complex interactions between many types of immune cells, and adequate disease inhibition relies on targeting molecules that orchestrate these interactions. One such molecule, IL-7, has well-known effects on lymphoid cells, but could this cytokine...

Description
Summary:Immunopathology in autoimmune diseases is promoted by complex interactions between many types of immune cells, and adequate disease inhibition relies on targeting molecules that orchestrate these interactions. One such molecule, IL-7, has well-known effects on lymphoid cells, but could this cytokine also affect innate immune cells to induce immunopathology?
