Abstract

The immune system is a complex network of metabolic pathways and cells, which are designed to distinguish harmful insults from harmless changes or fluctuations in metabolism and to mount an appropriate response to these harmful insults without compromising the affected tissue. Therefore, it walks a fine line to combat pathogens and cellular transformation on the one hand and to tolerate commensals on mucosal surfaces (such as normal gut bacteria), and food components, on the other hand.
