In addition to epithelial cells, immune cells are essential for enforcing mucosal barriers through production of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators
The homeostasis in the gut is formed by nutrition, metabolite uptake, mucosal barrier maintenance, mucosal immune regulation
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes or neutrophils play a critical role in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis
Maintaining homeostasis mains our ability to resolve disruptions, including pathogen infection and tissue injury
Recognizing Commensal Bacteria / Commensalism by TLRs Plays a Crucial Role in the Maintenance of Intestinal Epithelial Homeostasis
