Intestinal epithelial cells: regulators of barrier function and immune homeostasis. Nat. Rev. Immunol. 2014; 14: 141-153 Homeostatic immunity and the microbiota. Immunity. 2017; 46: 562-576 Rakoff-Nahoum S. Paglino J. Eslami-Varzaneh F. Edberg S. Medzhitov R. Recognition of commensal microflora by toll-like receptors is required for intestinal homeostasis.

Highlights • A single-cell atlas of human oral mucosa in individuals with or without periodontitis • Diverse stromal and immune cell populations promote barrier immunity • Stromal cell inflammatory profile is linked to neutrophil recruitment • Identification of cell-specific expression patterns of periodontitis susceptibility genes Summary The oral mucosa remains an understudied barrier tissue.
