Beyond the Barrier: Epithelial Cells as Immune Sentinels in the Female Genital Tract

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Epithelial cells (ECs) of the female genital tract (FGT) serve as an essential barrier and the first line of defense against sexually transmitted pathogens. Beyond providing a physical barrier, these cells actively contribute to immune responses through pathogen recognition, cytokine release, and modulation of adaptive immune responses ...
