Abstract
It is thought that the Nlrp6 inflammasome regulates formation of the inner mucus layer (IML) barrier that prohibits contact between the microbiota and colonic epithelial cells. Using microbiota-controlled mice and combined ex vivo/in vivo IML analytical approaches, Volk et al. delineate the relative roles of the inflammasome and microbiota in shaping IML formation and function.
