Colonic goblet cell-associated antigen passages mediate physiologic and beneficial translocation of live gut bacteria in preweaning mice - Nature Microbiology Colonic goblet cell-associated passages allow translocation of live bacteria to other organs in early life, potentially leading to beneficial impacts.

#MicrobiotaPower #AgainstDogma. Udayan, Newberry &co show @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social that, during early life, goblet cells allow a controlled spread of microbiota species that do not induce inflammation & instead protect in adult life against sepsis. #ScienceMatters www.nature.com/articles/s41...
