    Acute lung injury (ALI) is better understood as a disorder of dysregulated tissue-centered innate immune circuits.

  • 2

    Macrophages and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play central roles in regulating inflammation and tissue repair in ALI.

  • 3

    Macrophage plasticity and ILC-mediated responses determine the balance between inflammation and repair in the lung.

  • 4

    Disruption of the macrophage-ILC-epithelial communication network can lead to failed repair in injured lungs.

  • 5

    Restoring the competence of innate immune circuits may offer new therapeutic opportunities for treating ALI.
