N2 - How host cells sense intestinal parasitic infection and initiate the appropriate immune response haslong been a focus of many immunologists. Three new papers now identify a critical role for tuft cells, an epithelial cell type involved in perception of taste, as key players that kick-start type 2 immunity.
