What Histological Changes are Observed Post-Transplant?
Post-transplant, histological analysis can reveal several changes:
- Epithelial Regeneration: Restoration of the epithelial cells lining the gut, which can be damaged by infections or inflammation. - Reduced Inflammation: Decreased infiltration of inflammatory cells such as neutrophils and lymphocytes. - Tight Junction Integrity: Improved tight junctions between epithelial cells, reducing intestinal permeability. - Mucus Production: Enhanced production of mucus by goblet cells, which protects the epithelium.
