Congratulations Hairu Yang for publishing in Gut and leading this amazing ✨collaboration with Bryson Katona to identify cellular changes including MAIT cell enrichment associated with colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome 🎉 gut.bmj.com/content/earl...

MAIT cell enrichment in Lynch syndrome is associated with immune surveillance and colorectal cancer risk

Background Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary cause of colorectal cancer (CRC) and results from pathogenic germline variants affecting mismatch repair. The tissue microenvironment that ...

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

For those still interested in infection and the brain - here is a nice mix of math and pathogens - that tests the function of latency and how the immune system deals with a neuronal infection. Lots going on here to dissect - but turns out latency benefits host and parasite. rdcu.be/efknc

Immune targeting and host-protective effects of the latent stage of Toxoplasma gondii

Nature Microbiology - In vivo and in silico analyses suggest that bradyzoite-directed immunity contributes to control of cyst numbers, tissue damage and mortality in mice.

@cadwelllab.bsky.social has already posted about it, but we do have a new paper out about rewilding the immune system! This one is led by Ying-Han Chen (then NYU, now Academia Sinica) and Kimberly Zaldana (NYU), and it dives into the world of B cells. www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Rewilding catalyzes maturation of the humoral immune system

Releasing laboratory mice into the natural environment enhanced maturation and activation of the humoral immune system.

There's more exciting work to come from the rewilding experiments, so please do stay tuned for work from @grahammunology.bsky.social @cadwelllab.bsky.social et al.

Let's not forget that apart from science advocacy the Rauch lab also does kick-ass science! Together with the @psmitchej.bsky.social and Tait Wojno labs, we show that #tuftcells can induce specific protective signaling after recognition of intracellular bacterial infection via the #inflammasome!

Journal of Experimental Medicine@jem.org · last yr.

First authors Madeline Churchill and Ankit Pandeya @nkeet50.bsky.social from @rauchlab.bsky.social show that tuft cells, known for their role in anti-parasite defenses, can also contribute to anti-bacterial responses in the small intestine. rupress.org/jem/article/... #InfectiousDisease
