Cytokine-Mediated Crosstalk between Immune Cells and Epithelial Cells in the Gut

Abstract excerpt

Cytokines are small proteins that are secreted by a vast majority of cell types in the gut. They not only establish cell-to-cell interactions and facilitate cellular signaling, but also regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses, thereby playing a central role in genetic, inflammatory, and infectious diseases of the gut.
