Segmental patterning of microbiota and immune cells in the murine intestinal tract

Abstract excerpt

The intestine exhibits distinct characteristics along its length, with a substantial immune cell reservoir and diverse microbiota crucial for maintaining health. This study investigates how anatomical location and regional microbiota influence intestinal immune cell abundance. Using conventionally colonized and germ-free mice, segment-specific immune cell composition and microbial communities were assessed....
