Abstract

Chen et al. identify the immune function of long-lived olfactory stem cells to regulate inflammatory cell recruitment and local proliferation by releasing cytokines and chemokines. Chronically activated stem cells shut down regenerative function and signal macrophages to maintain epithelial immune defense.
