Psychological stress disrupts intestinal epithelial cell function and mucosal integrity through microbe and host-directed processes
2021-10-26
Abstract excerpt
Psychological stress alters the gut microbiota and predisposes individuals to increased risk for enteric infections and chronic bowel conditions. Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are responsible for maintaining homeostatic interactions between the gut microbiota and its host. In this study, we hypothesized that disruption to colonic IECs is a key factor underlying stress-induced disturbances to intestinal homeos...
