New Insights into the Regulation of Intestinal Immunity by Nod1 and Nod2
Nod1 and Nod2 are intracellular pattern recognition receptors that detect specific moieties of peptidoglycan, a critical component of the bacterial cell wall, to initiate host innate immune responses. Importantly, mutations in the human NOD2 gene have been associated with increased risk to develop m...
