Happy to share our new study showing IL-22BP deficiency enhances gut microbiota's defense against infections. This boosts acetate production by Il22ra2–/–associated microbiota, suggesting IL-22BP as a therapeutic target. Led by @zefachi and @blandy pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Excited to share our latest paper: combining anti–PD1 treatment with TREM2 deficiency in mice triggers a proinflammatory response in the gut, promoting the expansion of Ruminococcus gnavus. Congrats to first authors @blandy @molgora_martina @DKhantakova doi.org/10.1126/sciimmunol.a…

We went for a lab-excursion to the CSHL microbial pathogenesis and host responses seeing a beautiful talk by Blanda on her Treg story, while Joy, Ruth and Daniel presented posters on their exciting stuff.

Fueling Salmonella Superspreaders. @ruddle_sarah @monack_lab show #Salmonella Typhimurium catabolizes L-arabinose in superspreader mice. S. Tm uses alpha-N-arabinofuranosidase to acquire dietary L-arabinose, which is critical for superspreader emergence cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…
