Macrophages have a grip on the gut
Abstract
We host a world inside, and every day, new evidence reveals how relevant our microbiota is for daily living. In the most recent issue of Cell, Muller and colleagues demonstrate that microbiota commensals also influence colon peristalsis via a direct effect of muscolaris externae macrophages (Muller et al., 2014).
