Cirrhosis-associated immune dysfunction reflects impaired intestinal CD8αβ⁺ intraepithelial lymphocyte compartmentalization
2026-03-30
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Bacterial infections are major drivers of decompensation and mortality in cirrhosis, yet the mechanisms underlying cirrhosis-associated immune dysfunction remain incompletely understood. Although current models frequently invoke adaptive immune exhaustion, intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), a central barrier immune compartment responsible for epithelial surveillance and microbial cont...
