Mucosal immune cells are pivotal in maintaining homeostasis and responding to pathogens at mucosal surfaces. Key cell types include dendritic cells, which capture and present antigens to T cells, and macrophages, which phagocytize pathogens and secrete inflammatory cytokines. B cells produce antibodies specific to mucosal antigens, while T cells orchestrate immune responses and contribute to tolerance. These cells interact within mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) to regulate immune responses and maintain barrier integrity. Research is focusing on their roles in immune regulation, response to infections, and contributions to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, aiming to develop targeted therapies for mucosal disorders.
