The defensive role developed by IECs relies largely on the variety of receptors they express at both extracellular (apical and basolateral) and intracellular compartments, and the capacity of Enterocytes / Intestinal Epithelial Cells (IECs) to communicate with immune and nervous systems
Pardo-Camacho et al. 2018
A small portion of the gut microbes is not physically separated from Enterocytes / Intestinal Epithelial Cells (IECs) by the Intestinal Mucosal Barrier / Mucus Layer and can physicall…
