The future of mucosal immunology: studying an integrated system-wide organ

Author: Gill, N.; Wlodarska, M.; Finlay, B.B.

Description: Over the next 10 years, it will be important to shift the focus of mucosal immunology research to make further advances. Examination of the mucosal immune system as a global organ, rather than as a group of individual components, will identify and characterize relationships between mucosal sites.
