Their function is tightly linked to their ability to integrate multiple signals from a complex inflammatory environment and to translate these signals into the appropriate innate and adaptive (T cell) responses. (science.institut-curie.org)
Whether these differences are of primary etiological importance or secondary to the altered inflammatory environment remains largely unknown. (sciencedaily.com)
In particular, gut bacteria associated with increased inflammation were linked to healthy uninfected individuals, perhaps because this type of inflammatory environment makes it harder for the worms to establish themselves in the gut. (sciencedaily.com)
