We wish to bring attention to the critical role of the muco-microbiotic layer, a dynamic and integrated system located at mucosal surfaces. This layer represents a cornerstone of host-microbe interactions, composed of three key components: the mucus, the microbiota, and extracellular nanovesicles (commonly referred to as exosomes).
