Abstract

The gut, comprising the gastrointestinal tract, is not only responsible for digestion and nutrient absorption but also hosts a complex and dynamic ecosystem of microorganisms. Within this intricate ecosystem lies a fascinating field of study known as gut immunology, which investigates the immune responses and interactions that occur in the gut microenvironment. This article delves into the captivating realm of gut immunology, shedding light on the key components, mechanisms, and crucial role of the immune system in maintaining gut health.
