Scientists from various disciplines integrate the neuro-biological and immunological aspects of mucosal function in the context of traditional mucosal physiological processes. Coverage includes epithelium-barrier function to antigens, lamina propria-immune and other effector cells, epithelial response to inflammation, epithelial secretory responses to inflammation, interactions of immune cells/mediators with the nervous system, neuro/immune modulation of epithelial function and pathophysiology of inflammation.
