Pili-like proteins of Akkermansia muciniphila modulate host immune responses and gut barrier function.

Pili-like proteins of Akkermansia muciniphila modulate host immune responses and gut barrier function.

Gut barrier function is key in maintaining a balanced response between the host and its microbiome. The microbiota can modulate changes in gut barrier as well as metabolic and inflammatory responses.
