Bacterial sphingolipids delivered by outer membrane vesicles persist within mammalian immune cells and promote IL-10 secretion via the mevalonate pathway cell.com/cell-host-micr… @TheXavierLab @cellhostmicrobe @ericmichbrown

🚨New paper with @TheXavierLab @ScienceMagazine on the critical role of 🔁neuroimmune crosstalk in immune defense in the gut! @GeneLayInst @MGBResearchNews @HarvardMed @BroadInstitute science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Out now in @Science! We and the @KuchrooLab described responses of enteric neurons to inflammatory cues during infection, showing that primary sensory neurons detect type 2 cytokines, balance neuropeptides, and influence site-specific immunity. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Thrilled to share that Rebecca Cohen, one of our outstanding clinical research coordinators, will join the Johns Hopkins ScM program in Molecular Microbiology & Immunology. Congratulations, Rebecca — wishing you continued success in this exciting next chapter! @JohnsHopkinsSPH📚

🎉 Huge congrats to Joanna Atwater, one of our amazing clinical research coordinators, on her next big step — pursuing a DMD at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine! Wishing you all the best on this exciting journey! 🦷📚 #FutureDentist #TuftsDental

A big congratulations to Xavier lab member Felicia Houttuijn Bloemendaal who has been awarded a prestigious European Marie Sklodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellowship to support her work on characterizing enteric neurons in human disease!!

Join us for a hybrid Broad Discovery Series talk, "Introducing the immune system, and expanding its cancer-fighting potential," with @Lloyd_Bod on February 11 at 6 PM ET. Learn more and register: broadinstitute.swoogo.com/lloydbod
