Borders don’t just divide nations — they define our bodies too. At the skin and in the gut, our barrier organs form the frontline of defense against infection. Here, diverse communities of friendly microbes, the microbiota, help maintain health and keep these borders strong, backed up by an immune system ready to deploy antibodies against any intruder. Protecting these barrier organs is central to
