    On March 22, 2022, Fan Zusen's group from the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences published an article titled "Intestinal Tuft-2 cells exert antimicrobial immunity via sensing bacterial metabolite N-undecanoylglycine" in the journal " Immunity ", which revealed that Tuft-2 cells, a new subset of intestinal epithelial cells, recognize the bacterial metabolite N-undecanoylglycine (N-C11-G, undecylglycine) through the vomeronasal receptor Vmn2r26, thereby participating in the clearance of intestinal anti-pathogenic bacteria and exerting a immune defense


    The intestinal epithelium acts as the first barrier of the body's defense to separate the body from the external environment.


    The function of Tuft cells has only attracted attention in recent years.
