Excited to share that our latest work has been published in ImmunoHorizons! We describe the generation and characterization of a Pglyrp1-Cre knock-in mouse model and reveal site-dependent differences in Cre activity across mucosal tissues.

Pglyrp1-Cre marks distinct epithelial and immune lineages across mucosal sites

Abstract. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) initiates immune responses at mucosal entry sites. Within MALT, microfold (M) cells sample luminal Ags a

I am excited to share that our latest work is now available as a preprint on BioRxiv. In this study, we describe and characterize a Pglyrp1-Cre mouse model and uncover previously unappreciated heterogeneity among Pglyrp1-expressing cells across mucosal lymphoid tissues. #MucosalImmunity #MouseModels

Last week, my rotation student completed her 8-week stay in the lab. It was a genuine joy to mentor such a bright, curious, and motivated scientist. We spent a lot of time discussing science, research paths, and what it means to grow as a scientist. 1/2

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death. Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.
