Description
Sabrina Ferreira and Christopher Tibbitt present a 2026 review of a neglected cell in allergy: the type 2 killer T cell. Its helper cousins and innate partners get most attention. These cells make the same allergy driving signals and show up in asthma, eczema, and chronic sinus disease.
Alarm signals, fat mediators, low oxygen, and fuel use shape how they form and act. They seem to adapt to tissues, answer innate cues fast, and shrug off steroids more than helpers do. That mix could make them engines of stubborn, treatment resistant disease. Current biologic drugs likely touch them, though no one has measured how. The authors map the open questions.
