NF-κB Inducing Kinase Regulates Intestinal Immunity and Homeostasis
Intestinal immunity and homeostasis are maintained through the regulation of cytokine trafficking, microbiota, necrosis and apoptosis. Intestinal immunity and homeostasis participate in host defenses and inflammatory responses locally or systemically ...

Vitamin-mediated regulation of intestinal immunity [PDF]
The intestine is exposed continuously to complex environments created by numerous injurious and beneficial non-self antigens. The unique mucosal immune system in the intestine maintains the immunologic homeostasis between the host and the external ...

Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes: Maintainers of intestinal immune tolerance and regulators of intestinal immunity [PDF]
Abstract Intestinal immune tolerance is essential for the immune system, as it prevents abnormal immune responses to large quantities of antigens from the intestinal lumen, such as antigens from commensal microorganisms, and avoids self-injury.

Iron and intestinal immunity [PDF]
Recent advances in the study of iron metabolism have led to a better understanding of the molecular basis for the interactions between iron and the inflammatory response. We will review this new information in the context of the gastrointestinal tract.The effects of iron on microbial enteropathogens are well known.

Intestinal immunity: to be, or not to be, induced? That is the question [PDF]
Abstract The intestinal immune system maintains intestinal homeostasis in collaboration with diverse immune cell subsets residing at the epithelial layer, lamina propria and gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). Bacterial components and their metabolites are essential for the establishment of the gut immune system.

The impact of aging on intestinal mucosal immune function and clinical applications
Immune cells and immune molecules in the intestinal mucosa participate in innate and adaptive immunity to maintain local and systematic homeostasis. With aging, intestinal mucosal immune dysfunction will promote the emergence of age-associated diseases ...

Intestinal fungi and antifungal secretory immunoglobulin A in Crohn’s disease
The human gastrointestinal tract harbors trillions of commensal microorganisms. Emerging evidence points to a possible link between intestinal fungal dysbiosis and antifungal mucosal immunity in inflammatory bowel disease, especially in Crohn’s disease ...

Modulating AHR function offers exciting therapeutic potential in gut immunity and inflammation
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor. 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a classical exogenous synthetic ligand of AHR that has significant immunotoxic effects.

The Intestinal Virome and Immunity [PDF]
Abstract The composition of the human microbiome is considered a major source of interindividual variation in immunity and, by extension, susceptibility to diseases. Intestinal bacteria have been the major focus of research.
