Descriptor	células M
Entry term(s)	células M amigdalinas células M bronquiolares células M colónicas células M cólicas células M de las placas de Peyer células M de las vellosidades intestinales células M de las vías respiratorias células M del TLAB células M del TLAI células M del TLAM células M del TLAN células M del tejido linfático asociado a la mucosa células M del tejido linfático asociado a la nasofaringe células M del tejido linfático asociado a los bronquios células M del tejido linfático asociado al intestino células M epiteliales intestinales células M intestinales células de micropliegues
Scope note:	Estirpe definida de células epiteliales, presente en el TEJIDO MUCOSO, que es responsable de la detección inmunitaria y de la captura de bacterias luminales y de otras micropartículas. Distribuyen estas micropartículas, mediante TRANSCITOSIS, al tejido linfoide para una respuesta inmunitaria sistémica y mucosa eficaz. Las células M inducidas por la inflamación que se originan en respuesta a procesos inflamatorios pueden proporcionar acceso microbiano a tejidos que no disponen de un tejido de vigilancia inmunitaria asociado a células M normal.

Scope note:

A distinct lineage of epithelial cells, present in MUCOSAL TISSUE, that is responsible for the immune sensing and capture of luminal bacteria and other microparticles. They deliver these microparticles, via TRANSCYTOSIS, to lymphoid tissue for efficient mucosal as well as systemic immune responses. Inflammation-induced M cells arising in response to inflammatory conditions may provide microbial access to tissues without normal M cell-associated immune surveillance tissue.
