We also modeled these infections in early zebrafish embryos, enabling us to observe bacterial clearance dynamics by epithelial cells across scales—from subcellular to tissue-level behaviors. 4/9

Our paper is now published! The first encounter of a forming organism with bacteria reveals that innate immunity initiates in epithelial cells of early embryos, even in humans. www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

How innate immunity starts? Early embryos eliminate bacterial infections by epithelial phagocytosis, a conserved process from zebrafish to human embryos. Check our story:
