Early life gut microbiota sustains liver-resident natural killer cells maturation via the butyrate-IL-18 axis

Liver-resident natural killer cells develop locally and have multiple immunological roles in situ. Here the authors investigate the gut-liver axis and show the impact of the intestinal microbiota on the development of liver-resident natural killer cells.
