Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a global illness with high morbidity and mortality, accounting for 5.3% of all deaths worldwide. The lack of treatments other than alcohol abstinence evidences the necessity of research in the field.[1] Novel effective therapies along with the mechanism of ALD pathogenesis must be determined to mitigate the global burden of this devastating disease. A delicate interplay between the gut and liver is crucial in the pathophysiology of ALD. Ethanol misuse abruptly disrupts the components shielding the gut-liver balance. Ethanol promotes gut dysbiosis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, intestinal permeability, and microbial translocation to the circulation and liver, which triggers inflammation and aggravates ALD.[2] Understanding the critical factors of this complex equation is essential for ALD prevention and therapy.The host intestinal immune system influences the intestinal microbiota abundance and composition and participates in the regulation of the gut-liver axis. Understanding the implications and mechanistic pathways of the intestinal immune system in ALD pathogenesis is of relevance, as it may lead to the identification of targeted therapies. Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow–originated antigen presenting cells derived from monocyte-macrophages DC precursors. Intestinal DCs are found within organized lymphoid tissue such as Peyer’s patches, mesenteric lymph nodes, and in the lamina propria (LP). DCs tolerate antigens and gut symbionts while strategizing adaptive immune responses to combat pathogens. In the LP, myeloid DCs can be classified into 2 different subsets: plasmacytoid DCs and conventional DCs (cDCs). CDCs in the gut can be subdivided into the CD103+ CD11b− cDC1, and the CD103+ CD11b+ and CD103− CD11b+ cDC2 subsets.[3] The development of these conventional DCs subsets is under the regulation of distinct transcription factors. cDC1 development is defined by basic leucine zipper transcription factor ATF-4 like 3 (BATF3) and interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8),
