Intrahepatic microbes govern liver immunity by programming NKT cells
17 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
The gut microbiome shapes local and systemic immunity. The liver is presumed to be a protected sterile site. As such, a hepatic microbiome has not been examined. Here, we showed a liver microbiome in mice and humans that is distinct from that of the gut and is enriched in Proteobacteria.
