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.

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
