Epithelial cells in barrier tissues detect and eliminate pathogens. They use membrane-bound and cytosolic receptors. These receptors bind to various ligands. They detect pathogen components and behaviors. This stimulates cell-autonomous immunity. Epithelial cells also respond to commensal and diet-derived products. This helps maintain homeostasis. Recent studies have clarified their molecular sensors. These sensors help balance homeostasis and pathogen elimination. Epithelial cells are central to innate immunity.
