Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3
