MicroRNAs and LPS: developing a relationship in the neonatal gut
Abstract
Upon birth, the intestine converts from a sterile environment to a home for commensal microorganisms. How immune homeostasis is maintained during this transition is not well understood. Here, Chassin et al. (2010) demonstrate that microRNA-146a regulates the responsiveness of intestinal epithelial cells during microbial colonization of the neonatal intestine.
