Involvement of the NLRP3/IL-1β pathway in activation and effector functions of γδT17 cells in patients with ulcerative colitis

Figure 2 Histopathological manifestations of healthy controls and ulcerative colitis patients. The number of glands in the colonic mucosal tissue of ulcerative colitis patients was reduced, crypt structures were distorted, twisted and branched, and the population of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria were increased compared with healthy control (magnification: 200 ×). UC: Ulcerative colitis.
