Abstract

Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is an untreatable intestinal disease in infants. Here the authors show that human and experimental mouse NEC is associated with altered toll-like receptor expression in the intestine, enhanced Th17/type 3 polarization in adaptive immune and innate lymphoid cells, dysregulated microbiota, and reduced interleukin-37 signaling.
