Epithelium intrinsic vitamin A signaling co-ordinates pathogen clearance in the gut via IL-18.

Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are at the forefront of host-pathogen interactions, coordinating a cascade of immune responses to protect against pathogens. Here we show that IEC-intrinsic vitamin A signaling restricts pathogen invasion early in the infection and subsequently activates immune cel...
