New study reveals how T cells gain and maintain tolerance to gut bacteria
Immunology Immunotherapy
10 April 2024
The immune system in the intestine maintains a careful balance, tolerating our long-term resident (commensal) gut bacteria while defending against invading pathogens. Under certain circumstances, dysregulation of our intestinal immune response to commensal and pathogenic microbes can drive inflammatory disease.
