#MicrobiotaPower! Keskey Alverdy &co show @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social that gut microbiota-derived indoles activate AhR in macrophages, protecting against #sepsis! Bacterial pathogens can produce a siderophore that inhibits AhR increasing sepsis mortality! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Enterobactin inhibits microbiota-dependent activation of AhR to promote bacterial sepsis in mice - Nature Microbiology

Bacterial pathogens produce enterobactin, which suppresses microbiota-derived indole activation of Ahr in macrophages to inhibit bacterial clearance and increase the severity of bacterial sepsis.

The ear and the nose are squishy and stretchy thanks in part to ‘bubble wrap’ cells that provide extra cushioning and structural support to various body parts, a wide-ranging study shows.

Revealed: the fatty cells that are the ‘bubble wrap’ of the body

Previously undescribed cells look like fat cells, but they function to provide cushioning and support in cartilage.
