Two important host defense mechanisms: - ROS production by DUOX - Antimicrobial peptide production by the Imd pathway Negative feedback on the Imd pathway and compartimentation of Imd pathway activation are important for tolerance and the establishment of a beneficial flora A successful response to infection requires coordination of BOTH immune and homeostatic (repair) pathways Commensal bacteria stimulate epithelium renewal at a basal level Epithelium renewal as a target for gut pathogens
