Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) line the surface of intestinal epithelium, where they play important roles in the digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and protection of the human body from microbial infections, and others. Dysfunction of IECs can cause diseases.
This Special Issue will address two main topics. The first topic is the barrier function of the intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) provide a physical and biochemical barrier that segregates host tissue and commensal bacteria to maintain intestinal homeostasis.
The second theme is interactions between Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Microbes. Microbial signals are recognized by Intestinal Epithelial Cells to promote intestinal homeostasis.
With this Special Issue in Biomedicines, we aim to present a journal on the actual state of the art in order to understand the function of IECs and the Role of Intestinal Epithelial Cells in Health and Disease. We welcomed the submission of review and original research articles.
Dr. Anoop Kumar
