Core Tip Macrophages are a special type of phagocytes that play a crucial role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and movement. In the intestinal tract, Mφ is classified into different subgroups based on its position in the parietal layer and is closely related to the microenvironment. The current research focus is on developing non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) technology to provide a safer and more tolerable treatment option for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although preliminary data suggest that percutaneous VNS treatment for IBD may be effective, further research is needed to better prove the evidence of VNS treatment for chronic inflammatory diseases.
