Effective pulmonary immunity requires the precise spatial organization of immune cells, yet the mechanisms guiding their intratissue positioning during inflammation remain unclear. Here, we identify a cholesterol-derived chemotactic axis that spatially organizes T helper 2 (TH2) cells during fungal-induced pulmonary type 2 inflammation. Inflammation-expanded macrophages expressing cholesterol-25-hydroxylase (CH25H) produce 25-hydroxycholesterol, which is converted into the oxysterol 7,25-dihydroxycholesterol to attract GPR183-expressing TH2 cells into infectious lesions. This TH2 positioning suppresses interferon-{gamma} responsiveness in inflammatory Ly6C macrophages, promoting fungal persistence. Disruption of this axis via TH2-specific GPR183 deletion restores type 1 macrophage activation and enhances fungal clearance. Our findings reveal a macrophage-driven, metabolite-based mechanism of immunosuppressive cell positioning in inflamed lung tissue.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
