The Dawn of a New Beginning: Emerging Concepts Underlying Intestinal Epithelial Cell-gut Microbe Interactions

Date
May 20, 2024

SOCIETY: AGA Over the past 25 years or so we have come to the realization that the intestinal epithelium is not just a static barrier. Rather, a sophisticated cross-talk dynamic has emerged between intestinal epithelial cells and enteric pathogens, with the effects of pathogenic organisms being extensive. We have learned that these organisms usurp host defenses and alter cellular function in a variety of ways. Moreover, understanding this interplay has also led to new knowledge of normal GI physiology. In this session, attendees will learn where the future of host-gut microbes lies.
