M cells are specialised epithelial cells that play a pivotal role in antigen sampling at mucosal surfaces, thereby bridging innate and adaptive immunity. Predominantly located in the ...

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that plays a key role in this protection is the microfold cell (M cell). These ...

New evidence shows that human M cells act as fully fledged antigen-presenting cells, processing and presenting gluten peptides through a dendritic cell-like pathway that may shape early coeliac ...
