Abstract

Our understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that shape the gut microbiota is rapidly emerging. The intestinal microbial landscape is modulated by a plethora of host-extrinsic and host-intrinsic factors. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Ahuja and colleagues (2017) demonstrate that mediators secreted by pancreatic acini shape the intestinal microbiota and intestinal immunity.
