Research progress on intestinal probiotics-mediated protection of the intestinal mucosal barrier in ulcerative colitis

Current findings suggest that probiotics can inhibit pathogen adhesion and colonization, enhance the production of beneficial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids and tryptophan-derived compounds, and promote the expression of tight-junction proteins, as well as mucins such as MUC1 and MUC2.
