For @Immuno_Mike, science is more than a search for answers—it’s a chance to guide others along the way. In a Q&A with Scripps Research Magazine, he shares how he mentors young scientists and studies innate immune cells that protect barrier tissues like skin and gut. More: ow.ly/i37b50Y0rpl

LeBlanc, Sobel, Constantinides et al. @scrippsresearch show that antibiotic treatment in early life can deplete riboflavin-synthesizing commensals & impair #MAIT cell development, rendering adult animals more susceptible to bacterial #pneumonia hubs.la/Q03Ym4z50 #Microbiome

Research from @MGClab in @JExpMed identifies a probiotic-based solution to antibiotic-linked MAIT cell depletion. In preclinical models, pairing necessary antibiotics with a riboflavin-producing gut bacterium restored MAIT cell development during a key early-life window. More: ow.ly/gOjN50XKsff
