Macrophages Monitor Fluid Absorption, Cell, October 15, 2020 ( Vol. 183, Issue 2)
Amechanism is described by which subepithelial macrophages perform a quality check of fluids absorbed through colonic epithelial cells to avoid poisoning with fungi toxins. This mechanism involves macrophageballoonlike membrane protrusions inserted in between epithelial cells, which inflate depending on the amount of fungi metabolites present in the colon.
