Protective role of berberine on ulcerative colitis through modulating enteric glial cells–intestinal epithelial cells–immune cells interactions

This study demonstrates the pathological role of functional defects of enteric glial cells (EGCs) and an infusive mechanism of therapeutic effects of berberine in ulcerative colitis. Berberine could maintain the intestinal residence of EGCs and modulate the interactions between EGCs, epithelial cells and immune cells.
