From this perspective, there is significant interest in identifying endogenous homeostatic pathways in the intestinal mucosa. Targeted activation of these mucosal pathways may restore homeostasis and at the same time avoid the risks of systemic immunosuppression which is frequently utilized for control of IBD.
