Take a look at our latest work from @ikinglab.bsky.social identifying an immune-stromal cell axis that mediates disease tolerance against intestinal infection. It's been a pleasure working with a truly collaborative team to make this project a reality. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kznjL7PXu...

How Cuts to NIH Research Funding Would Hurt States

Proposed changes to the National Institutes of Health’s $48 billion budget would risk jobs, threaten state economies, and hamper progress toward prevention and treatment of diseases such as cancer.
