@SciImmunology Fantastic work lead by @beyondqing

[Science Immunology @SciImmunology]

Tested in mice and cells from patients with #Crohns disease, a potential #IBD treatment—combining an engineered peptide and FDA-approved rapamycin—lured out and depleted T cells that react excessively to gut bacteria.

My alma mater, Birmingham-Southern College, is in a rough spot and the odds for survival don't look good. This was a tough one to write. https://t.co/NetiqdGgpv

[Science Immunology @SciImmunology]

By analyzing publicly available gut metagenomes from healthy humans, researchers outline how previously undescribed “silent” flagellins do not fully bind to TLR5, preventing immune activation. https://t.co/TUe7ek58aD @RuthLeyMicro
