Neonatal microbiota colonization primes maturation of goblet cell–mediated protection in the pre-weaning colon, say Åsa Johansson, Mahadevan Venkita Subramani (@Mahadevanvenkit), George Birchenough and colleagues @goteborgsuni: https://t.co/J1R1WlYgkA

Penultimate day #ICMI2024 🫨 awesome talks on hyaluronic acid / Type 2 immunity @ProfJudiAllen, goblet cells under C. rodentium model @Mahadevanvenkit, G-protein coupled receptors in alveolar macrophages @WillingerLab & fibre-deficiency impacting GLP-1 release @PhDBrockmannL 👏
This has been a very long and slow burning project in the lab and I have only covered the highlights here. Big thanks to @Mahadevanvenkit and Åsa Johansson for finally wrapping it up!
🥳 New preprint from the lab now online! 🥳

Ever wondered when/how the colonic mucus barrier and other goblet cell-intrinsic defences develop? Look no further (for some answers at least...) #neonatal#mucus#gobletcell#microbiome
Intestinal mucus & their glycans: A habitat for thriving #microbiota. @AnaSofLuis & Hansson @goteborgsuni review how commensal #bacteria can be selected by & utilize complex O-glycans of colonic mucins--while being kept at distance by inner mucus layer https://t.co/Xe2ncEpxnL
A very interesting talk by Gitta Stockinger at #emig2023 on the role of AHR and its ligands in shaping IEL mediated protection against C. tyzzeri infection in small intestine.
📣📣📣 If you are curious about the role of mucins, glycocalyx, and mucus in gut mucosal immunology, you can meet @MucinBiology PI @thaher and other members at #EMIG2023 in Bern! Check out our posters 003, 081, 111 and 177! #mucins#glycotime#Immunology
Congrats to @Mahadevanvenkit, my first #PhD student, for an excellent half-time seminar - a holistic "investigation of goblet cell-intrinsic intestinal defence" 🤟
📣📣📣 PhD position available with the excellent @MucinBiology PI Jenny Gustafsson. Focus on Goblet cell antigen passage (GAP 👇) function in colitis, a great opportunity to work at the cutting edge of epithelial-immune interactions.

Please RT 😀
📢📢📢 #postdocjobs now available for application in the lab. Come to @SahlgrenskaAcad and help me figure out if/how modulating goblet cells/mucus barrier might be used to prevent #colorectalcancer. RTs much appreciated 🙂
