The Role of Intestinal Macrophages in Gastrointestinal Homeostasis: Heterogeneity and Implications in DiseaseSummary

Intestinal macrophages play a key role in the gut immune system and the regulation of gastrointestinal physiology, including gut motility and secretion. Their ability to keep the gut from chronic inflammation despite constantly facing foreign antigens has been an important focus in gastrointestinal...
