Ever wondered how gut microbes control immune responses at extra-intestinal locations?
Here #theonlylabever reports how a gut protozoan commensal shapes pulmonary immunity to exacerbate asthma and limit the dissemination of mycobacteria.

PRR recognition of helminths remains poorly understood. A new #MucosalImmunology study identifies NOD1—but not NOD2—as critical for triggering inflammation and driving lung immunopathology during Ascaris infection. #OpenAccess www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

Organismal mucosal immunology: A perspective through the eyes of game theory In complex organisms, functional units must interact cohesively to maintain homeostasis, especially within mucosal barriers that house diverse, specia…

How does the immune system make "decisions" at mucosal barriers? My new perspective explores how seeing strategic cell interactions through the lens of game theory could reveal fresh insights into mucosal immune homeostasis and disease. 🧵 1/7

A new #MucosalImmunology study shows intestinal ILCs regulate the kynurenine pathway through IFN-γ, promoting cognitive dysfunction. Targeting IDO or supplementing with indoleacetic acid protected against post-operative cognitive impairment #GutBrainAxis www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

This is going to be a great meeting! Registrations are open @hepworth-lab.bsky.social @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social 👇👇👇

Thanks for including us in this starter pack! Follow all these great accounts for the latest #MucosalImmunology research. We are proud to be your journal dedicated to mucosal immunology and part of this strong community!

Mucosal immunology! ❤️

A new mechanistic study uncovers how dietary fibre influences the gut microbiota to drive ILC1 IFNγ, boosting MHC II expression on intestinal epithelial cells and shaping IEL pools. A must-read for #MucosalImmunology aficionados! www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

We recognise the immense value of big datasets–not just for the labs that generate them, but for the entire #MucosalImmunology community. That's why we've introduced a new #Resource article format mucosalimmunology.org to share and showcase such important contributions. Interested? Reach out to us!
