Just published! @NatureComms
We built an optogenetic gut platform that activates specific enteric neurons with light.
Our “second brain” is more influential than we thought - its firing patterns shape immunity, barrier strength, and microbial responses! https://t.co/IeBHWIUpoA
🚨Paper alert 🚨 Our latest research is out in @Nature! We reveal a surprising new role for the proteasome in innate immunity: generating antimicrobial peptides that can directly disrupt bacterial membranes. 🦠⚡ @WeizmannScience@Sys_Immunology

🚨🚨I’m excited to present our lab’s new paper where we tried to provide a mechanistic explanation for the link between antibiotic use and risk of developing inflammatory bowel diseases (#IBD). A 🧵/1

Wow! Blown away by @YissacharLab's talk at #IIS 🤯 showing how optogenetic activation of different neurons the enteric nervous system shapes the immune response. Read his fantastic paper about it: https://t.co/ccxDSOxZs9
Check out our new pre-print! 🎉
We developed a powerful platform to dissect enteric neuroimmune connections using whole-tissue optogenetics on-a-chip. We revealed neuronal-specific activity patterns that differentially regulate intestinal immunity.

100+ @Harvard post-doc alumni in a letter to Harvard board:
“We no longer share a sense of pride in being Harvard alumni. We are reluctant to recommend to our top students to pursue education at Harvard, as its high academic standards are obscured by low moral standards.”
Applications for the 2024-25 Azrieli Int’l #Postdoctoral#Fellowship are OPEN! Apply by Nov 15 to be considered for a postdoc position at a top academic institution in Israel – available to candidates worldwide.

We are very happy to share our lates publication in @Nature, spearheaded by Tal Givony &Yael Goldfarb, expanding the incredible cellular & functional diversity of mTECs and bringing key insights into the roles of thymic microfold and endocrine cells https://t.co/raPcrklnM4
Finally out!! 🎉
Gut microbes and metabolites control epithelial barrier functions.
Now, we can visualize microbiome-induced changes to gut permeability in real-time!
Thanks @EranElinav@Elinav_Lab for a fruitful and fun collaboration!

Our new review with @FAO is out. We provide an overview of the interrelationships between the microbiome and nutrition in child growth and healthy development and discuss the potential of the microbiome in undernutrition interventions.

🚨🚨 Gather ‘round children, it’s Bel lab story time! This one is called “tricking the trickster”. It tells the story of how we found a way to foil the evil plans of the master manipulator, Salmonella typhimurium. A 🧵 /1
