Our paper showing the mechanism of cytokine storm during SARS-CoV-2 infection is now online in eLife. We demonstrate that spike protein, upon sensing by TLR2, induces inflammatory cytokines in macrophages, monocytes and epithelial cells.

A study from the @hasanzaki02 lab via @eLife, provides critical insight into a molecular mechanism that may contribute to cytokine storm during SARS-CoV-2 infection and suggests potential drug targets. https://t.co/tWR4WwYqh0

Dietary simple sugars alter microbial ecology in the gut and promote colitis in mice https://t.co/NVmqJffudp

We are very excited to see our work published in Science Translational Medicine. I thank to all my lab members and co-authors for their great effort and support.
