- Title
Mucosal immunology: a safety catch to prevent intestinal inflammation.
- Authors
Minton, Kirsty
- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the safety measures for the prevention of intestinal inflammation. It references the study "Priming microenvironments dictate cytokine requirements for T helper 17 cell lineage commitment," by W. Hu and colleagues in the December 1, 2011 issue of "Immunity." Results show that the gut's cytokine requirement for T helper 17 (TH17) cell generation is increased by a number of intestinal dendritic cells (DCs).
