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.
SOCIETY: AGA This is a cutting-edge research symposium focused on how information about nutrients, microbes and other luminal signals is communicated from the gut to the central nervous system (CNS) by vagal and spinal afferent nerves, and in turn, how efferent fibers coming down from the vagus ner…
The gastrointestinal tract is a diverse and complex ecosystem shaped by continual interactions between host cells, nutrients, and the gut microbiota. Under homeostatic conditions, the human gut microbiota limits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and restricts the influence of resident pathobionts…
