Our Evolving Understanding of Kawasaki Disease Pathogenesis: Role of the Gut Microbiota.

abstract：:Effector T cells exit the inflamed vasculature into an environment shaped by tissue-specific structural configurations and inflammation-imposed extrinsic modifications. Once within interstitial spaces of non-lymphoid tissues, T cells migrate in an apparent random, non-directional, fashion. Efficient T cell scanning of...
