Under physiological conditions, microbiota-host interaction ensures intestinal homeostasis.
In a healthy gut, the cells lining the intestines release substances called mucins and antimicrobial peptides. These healthy cells also release proteins known as cytokines, which help develop special immune cells called tolerogenic dendritic cells and macrophages. These dendritic cells then help create regulatory T cells when they are in the presence of certain fact…
