Thank you to the @apsphysiology.bsky.social for an amazing conference. Great science and networking as always but particularly great crab cakes in Baltimore. Hope to run it back in Minneapolis next year!

Hungry? Special cells lining our gut sense the food we eat and even how much our intestines stretch! @hamccauley.bsky.social won an award to develop a new humanized mouse model to understand how these cells message immune cells and influence #guthealth and disease. unc.live/42KuHjM
Understanding the role of gut messenger cells in gastrointestinal disease
Health McCauley received a Junior Faculty Development Award to create a new humanized mouse model that more closely replicates complex immune cell dynamics in the gut.
