Abstract

How immunity is regulated at distinct epithelial tissues that vary in microbial occupancy and environmental and tissue specific cues isn't clear. Dutzan et al. (2017) report that mechanical-derived signals, not those from micro-organisms, are key to maintaining interleukin-17-expressing T helper (Th17) cells at the oral epithelia.
