Spatially restricted immune and microbiota-driven adaptation of the gut - Nature
Intestinal regionalization is characterized by robust and resilient structural cell states and the intestine can adapt to environmental stress in a spatially controlled manner through crosstalk betwee...

1/ Keen to share the story of my postdoc research out in @natureportfolio.bsky.social! We built a massive resource characterizing the spatial landscape of the gut—and yes, we dug deep into the biology too. If you’ve got a minute, let me walk you through the story. 🧵👇

Our lab just completed a +6 year #marathon, describing for the first time that the #microbiome is critical for #exercise - induced increases in antitumor CD8 T cell immunity and improved of #cancer #immunotherapy.

Exercise-induced microbiota metabolite enhances CD8 T cell antitumor immunity promoting immunotherapy efficacy
Exercise enhances antitumor immunity and immunotherapy effectiveness by increasing
microbiota-derived formate, which boosts CD8 T cell function and may serve as a biomarker
of melanoma suppression.

#WeekendRead! #LocationLocationLocation! Amazing @Nature by @touficmayassi.bsky.social, Xavier &co showing regional specialization of the gut at the spatial (single cell) level! Strong resilience after inflammation & ILC2 are key in middle colon adaption to microbiota! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
