RT by @physorg_com: How the #smallintestine defends itself against bacteria @scisignal https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scisignal.abl5848 https://medicalxpress.com/news/2022-09-small-intestine-defends-bacteria.html
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have been studying the mucus involved in defending the intestines and airways against infection for more than 30 years. To date, their work has focused very much on the large intestine, but this study, published in Science Signaling, now shows for the first time how this mucus normally protects the crypts (invaginations) of the small intestine.
