Gut microbiota primes stroke severity via the AHR in intestinal dendritic cells
Indole-producing Escherichia coli worsens ischemic stroke through the activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling in dendritic cells. Limiting AHR signaling in DCs promotes gut-derived DC migrat...

Can microbes in our gut really play an important role in the immune response after stroke? And most importantly: how does it work? 1000 congrats to first author Rosa Delgado Jiménez, the whole team and all my colleagues ! 🧠 💩 🤩 #Stroke #Microbiota #GutBrainAxis www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

New paper out from the lab, led by Maddy Hurry. We investigate how stroke leads to peripheral complications in the gut through dysregulation of IgA mediated host-commensal crosstalk. @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social @diiirm.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
