Abstract

The exact principles guiding host-microbe homeostasis in the intestinal tract remain obscure. In a recent issue of Nature, Wu et al. (2020) describe that bacterial-derived inositols are an important principle that shapes regenerative properties of the colonic epithelium. The metabolites activate HDAC3, which represents an important part of the epigenetic machinery.
