Immunology: Mucosal Surfaces and Immune System Interactions - Class 2

Explore the fascinating world of immunology in this comprehensive lecture from the Serrapilheira/ICTP-SAIFR Training Program in Quantitative Biology and Ecology. Delve into crucial topics such as mucosal surfaces, the immune system, microbiota, and the gut-brain connection. Learn about pathogens, tolerance, and inflammatory responses from experts Carolina Lucas of Yale University School of Medicine and Daniel Mucida of The Rockefeller University. Gain insights into resistance and tolerance mechanisms, mucosal barriers, antibodies, and IgA. Discover the intricacies of M cells, antibody transport, and various types of immune responses. Examine tissue-resident memory cells and their significance in immunology through practical examples and in-depth discussions.
