New Rules for Intestinal Microbial-Immune Homeostasis

Dr. Jonathan Braun, Professor and Chair for the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, reviews emerging data relating to immunoregulation in inflammatory bowel disease and normal homeostasis in the gut. Topics discussed include the integration of cell types other than immonoregulatory T cells and the regulatory role of B lymphocytes in autoimmune disease models. Dr. Braun goes on to describe the protective traits of B cells, including how these traits may have developed.
