• Human gut microbiota in health and disease: Unveiling the relationship (2022, background): “Antigen-presenting cells (APCs), having coevolved with gut microbiota, a key advantage of intestinal APCs is their potential to defend the body from infection while retaining the immune tolerance to the normal gut microbiota (Wu and Wu, 2012).”
• Gut Bacteroides species in health and disease (2021, background): “It is possible that under certain conditions, some gut microbes can give rise to autoimmune (immune reaction to self-epitopes) conditions.(146,147) It has been hypothesized that molecular mimicry by proteins of bacteria and viruses in the human body may lead to autoimmune conditions.”
• Immune System Dysregulation During Spaceflight: Potential Countermeasures for Deep Space Exploration Missions (2018, neutral): “The symbiotic relationship between humans and their microbiome is essential for immune homeostasis (88).”
