Gut epithelial homeostasis is maintained by continuous crosstalk between
• the gut microbiota,
• immune cells and
• the mucosal barrier.
There are three important elements to maintaining homeostasis:
• Balance between hyper-immunity and immunodeficiency
• Epithelial barrier integrity
• Defending the attack of pathogens
