Congratulations!!

Cerebral ischaemic stroke results in altered mucosal antibody responses and host-commensal microbiota interactions Stroke is a devastating neurological event with a high risk of mortality that results in long-term sequalae that extend beyond the central nervous sys…

New paper out from the lab, led by Maddy Hurry. We investigate how stroke leads to peripheral complications in the gut through dysregulation of IgA mediated host-commensal crosstalk.
