Intestinal neuro-immune interactions: focus on macrophages, mast cells and innate lymphoid cells

Intestinal homeostasis relies on the reciprocal crosstalk betweenenteric neurons and immune cells, which together form neuro-immune units that occupy distinct anatomical niches within thegut.Here wewill review the recent advancesin our understandingof neuro-immune crosstalk within the gut, with focus onmacrophages, mast cells and innate lymphoid cells. In particular,we will discuss the role of neuron-immune cell crosstalk inhomeostasis, and how aberrant communication may underliedisease in the gastro-intestinal tract.
