Abstract Synopsis
- The appendix has a dual role in the immune system and microbiota preservation, acting as a site for immunoglobulin A production and a niche for beneficial bacteria that help restore gut flora after illness.
- Despite being considered a redundant remnant of evolution, the appendix is highly conserved across humans, indicating its functional importance, and its potential involvement in preventing certain inflammatory and intestinal diseases.
- While modern hygiene has made the appendix seemingly unnecessary for health, its removal may have subtle effects, such as increased susceptibility to inflammatory conditions and poorer outcomes in infections like Clostridium difficile, highlighting its role as a microbiota reservoir.
