T cell nomenclature diagram titled "T cell nomenclature: from subsets to modules" shows existing and alternative modular T cell nomenclature with examples. Text includes descriptions of T cell types and functions.

A Consensus Statement in Nature Reviews Immunology clarifies the existing subset-based nomenclature for T cells. It also proposes an alternative modular nomenclature that is designed to be brief and flexible and to avoid ambiguity and unwanted implications. go.nature.com/3Xzfoqb #immunosky πŸ§ͺ

I’d like to thank all the co authors, especially Caio Salgado who spearheaded this project, as well as my collaborator Dr. Fonseca. We hope this counterintuitive IL33 mediated effect can help explain at least some of the aspects of the so called β€œhygiene hypothesis”

In this work, we discovered that gut exposure to enterotoxigenic E. coli (the ones that cause travelers diarrhea 😬) or its heat labile toxin can protect mice from lung type 2 allergy, which is linked to lung ILC2s losing their function. Paradoxically, this effect occurs BECAUSE of gut IL33 release!

Hi everyone! This is the official account of the LIDS (formerly known as Borges da Silva lab - I didn’t want to have a lab named after me). I wanted to start this account by sharing our latest preprint, a collaboration with Denise Fonseca (USP-Brazil)! This is our first IL33 (and allergy) story
