Unveiling the Power of Mucosal Immune Cells

Andrew Greek

This abstract highlights the pivotal role of mucosal immune cells in safeguarding our body against infections and maintaining homeostasis. Mucosal surfaces, such as the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, serve as primary entry points for pathogens. Mucosal immune cells, including specialized T cells, B cells, and innate immune cells, orchestrate a complex defense system. They contribute to the first line of defense, promote tolerance to commensal microorganisms, and shape systemic immune responses. Understanding the dynamic interactions and functions of mucosal immune cells is crucial for developing targeted therapies, vaccines, and interventions to combat infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders. This unveiling of their power promises to revolutionize immunology and healthcare.
