Abstract in brief

  • Epithelial cells act as the first line of defense by forming physical barriers and detecting threats like microbes and toxins, then signaling to the immune system to respond accordingly.
  • These cells can "learn" from past injuries or infections through epigenetic changes in long-lasting stem cells, which make them more responsive to future stress or threats.
  • The review discusses how epithelial cells sense danger signals, communicate with immune cells, and retain a memory of these encounters to improve the body's defense mechanisms over time.
