The basolateral membranes of intestinal M cells are invaginated to form large intraepithelial
“pockets” that are populated by specific sub-sets of mucosal leukocytes, including CD4+ T …

Abstract β1 integrins are thought to play a central role in maintaining lymphocytes within
mucosal epithelia via their interactions with extracellular matrix proteins and subepithelial …
