Resolution of inflammation is pivotal to restoring tissue homeostasis, yet there is limited understanding of how this process is regulated. In this issue of Immunity, Liew et al. (2017) reveal a critical role for invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells in switching inflammation to tissue repair in an interlukin-4-dependent process.
