I study tissue resident macrophages and neuroimmune interaction in health and disease. I predominately utilize confocal imaging and transgenic mouse models to understand these interactions. Reach out if you want to collaborate. #immunology #science #confocal #hostpathogen #neuroimmune #neurobiology

E. coli-activated cellular circuit restrains intestinal inflammatory microbiota-specific T cells and protects against colitis

Kim et al. show that colonization with a single E. coli strain limits microbiota-directed T cell inflammation. Colonization promotes CX3CR1+ APC IL-10 production, restricting colitogenic Th1 cell resp...
