Tripartite Interplay of Epithelial, Immune, and Microbiota Dysregulation in Crohn's Disease: Mechanisms and Translational Strategies
ABSTRACT Background Crohn's disease (CD) is a multifactorial inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by impaired epithelial barrier integrity, excessive immune hyperactivation, and gut microbiota perturbations. Cumulative evidence supports the role of the intestinal epithelial barrier, immune system and gut micr...
