Read the latest #SMIMemberPaper from @BenJMarsland and colleagues in @ImmunityCP on how early life #Antiboitics reduce systemic indole-3-propionic acid levels required to maintain mitochondrial respiration in the lung. bit.ly/4dhAxuK

Systems immunology is not only immunology with more data. It is a new way of thinking about immune systems as integrated multiagent systems w particular value for making variable human immune system more interpretable: cell.com/trends/immunology/f…

Melbourne researchers have unlocked why children are more likely to develop asthma after early exposure to antibiotics. Professor Ben Marsland speaks to @mikeamor7 about the research. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

🇦🇺 Asthma Breakthrough ▫It’s one of asthma’s biggest causes and can begin in babies, but doctors did not know why – and therefore how to prevent it – until now ▫@sarahbooth_14 #frontpagestoday #Australia @theheraldsun 🇦🇺

Viruses, OTT cleanliness, genetics … all these have been linked to a higher chance of having #asthma. Now, @Benjmarsland has led research isolated the molecule IPA: when subjected to antibiotic onslaught, IPA disappears from the airways, taking with it valuable protection against asthma. Here’s Ben being interviewed in the lab with reporters from @7NewsMelbourne and @10NewsFirstMelb

Incredibly proud to showcase our work published today in @ImmunityCP! Our findings reveal that the early-life gut microbiota produces metabolites with the potential to prime the airway epithelium and prevent allergic inflammation in adulthood. cell.com/immunity/abstract/S…
