Intraepithelial Lymphocytes Suppress Intestinal Tumor Growth by Cell-to-Cell Contact via CD103/E-Cadherin SignalSummary

Background & Aims: The reason why small intestinal cancer is rarer than colorectal cancer is not clear. We hypothesized that intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), which are enriched in the small intestine, are the closest immune cells to epithelial cells, exclude tumor cells via cell-to-cell c...
