Induction of tolerance in the gut relies on immunomodulatory functions of mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN). Here the authors show that mLN stromal cells receive early microbiota imprinting in the neonatal phase to exhibit long-term, location-specific transcriptional programs for the induction of regulatory T cells and peripheral tolerance.
