Thrilled to share our work now published on @cp-immunity.bsky.social . Big thanks to our collaborators. Here we show that short-term High-Fat diet impairs ILC3 functions in producing IL-22 through microbiota-dependent and-independent mechanisms.

Very excited our work out in @jem.org “Transient inhibition of type I interferon enhances CD8+ T cell stemness and vaccine protection”
@wehi-research.bsky.social led by talented (and determined) PhD student @benjbroom.bsky.social
Thread below.

@benjbroom.bsky.social et al. @groomlab.bsky.social show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation & cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells rupress.org/jem/article/...

Cool new study from Iliev lab at Weill Cornell Medicine showing a #commensalfungi that dominates the mycobiome of wild mice driving #eosinophilia and #type2immunity through the ST2-IL33 axis, resulting in enhanced resistant to helminth infection 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fungal symbiont transmitted by free-living mice promotes type 2 immunity - Nature

Kazachstania pintolopesii is a highly prevalent fungal symbiont that can trigger type 2 immunity and influence the composition of the gut mycobiome, as well as immune and disease phenotypes.
