Co-operative regulation of epithelial homeostasis and immunity

Epithelium of barrier organs plays a primary host defense function. In the lung, airway epithelium protects from respiratory pathogens routinely present in the air without development of excessive inflammation or tissue injury. We hypothesized that such a barrier function might be achieved due to a...
