Deconstructing Intestinal Immune Tolerance
The intestinal tract is the main site of nutrient absorption and faces constant exposure to complex environmental stimuli. Intestinal barrier integrity and functionality are safeguarded by the intestinal immune system, which must balance its pro- and anti-inflammatory activities to provide protection from pathogenic microorganisms while preventing unwanted reactivity to self-antigens, commensal microbes, and dietary components. The intestinal immune environment can be viewed as a multicellular network in which the identity and function of individual cells is intrinsically programmed by transcription factors (TFs) that regulate their gene expression. These cells in turn can respond to…
