Mucosal Immunity: Key Players and Mechanisms in Defense and Homeostasis
Abstract
Mucosal surfaces serve as critical interfaces between the body and the external environment, constantly exposed to a myriad of pathogens. Mucosal immunity plays a pivotal role in defending these surfaces while maintaining homeostasis. This research article aims to elucidate the key players and mechanisms involved in mucosal immunity, highlighting their roles in defense against pathogens and regulation of immune responses.
