Very excited to share our new work out today @cellpress.bsky.social. Here, we propose that meningeal mast cells regulate brain inflammation after stroke by coordinating immune infiltration from the skull bone marrow, through the meninges, and into the brain!

A mast cell receptor mediates post-stroke brain inflammation via a dural-brain axis
Meningeal mast cells, via the receptor Mrgprb2/X2, orchestrate brain inflammation
after stroke by recruiting and promoting the transfer of skull bone marrow neutrophils

Very excited for this story to be out!! Check out our dissection of how type I IFN promotes NET release, which contributes to Mtb pathogenesis and is associated with granuloma necrosis. Congratulations to all authors!! www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...
Type I IFN-mediated NET release promotes Mycobacterium tuberculosis replication and is associated with granuloma caseation
Sur Chowdhury et al. report that Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection results in the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) that promote Mtb replication and associate with tissue damage. Blocking NET release results in better control of Mtb replication, revealing a strategy for treating these deadly infections.
