Kurzfassung:
The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) stands as an intricate and versatile arm of the immune system, positioned strategically at the body's mucosal interfaces. This specialized lymphoid tissue serves as a sentinel against myriad pathogenic challenges while fostering immune tolerance to commensal microorganisms. This article explores the structural and functional attributes of MALT, delving into its critical role in immune surveillance, protection, and homeostasis within mucosal environments. We delve into the intricate interplay between MALT and its cellular constituents, focusing on the lymphocytes, follicular dendritic cells, and the diverse array of immunoglobulins. This comprehensive investigation illuminates the relevance of MALT in the context of infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and inflammation, emphasizing its potential as a therapeutic target. Additionally, we discuss the implications of MALT in the development of mucosal vaccines and the ongoing research avenues poised to unveil novel insights into this remarkable immunological asset.
