Latest from the lab! We show the importance of regulation within airway epithelial cells in controlling Acinetobacter baumannii infection. @jidjournal.bsky.social. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41636230/

TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB signaling in the airway epithelium promotes Acinetobacter baumannii clearance - PubMed
These findings highlight the airway epithelium as a critical site of innate immune sensing and coordinating the pulmonary host defense against A. baumannii.

Latest from the lab! In @elife.bsky.social we reviewed the current status of trained immunity in the lung! elifesciences.org/articles/104...

Trained immunity in the lung
Several studies have now demonstrated that trained immunity occurs in the airways to several pathogens and products, while its utility is yet to be determined.

Excited to see this finally out!! We found IL-2 made by CD301b+ DCs critical for the Th2 fate decision of CD4T cells and skewing them away from the Tfh fate. They also seem to use their own CD25 to direct IL-2 to the cognate clone. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
