Description:
EpCAM-dependent extracellular vesicles from intestinal epithelial cells maintain intestinal tract immune balance Nature Communications, Published online: 10 October 2016; doi:10.1038/ncomms13045 The intestinal tract is continually exposed to foreign material and gut homeostasis is dependent on tolerance. Here, the authors show that extracellular vesicles released from intestinal epithelial cells stimulate T regulatory cells and immunosuppressive dendritic cells.
