Bacterial suppression of intestinal fungi via activation of human gut γδ T-cells
Gut symbionts condition mucosal immunity to resist infection by enteropathogens, but the specific microbes and mechanisms involved differ significantly between host species. In higher primates, bacter...

So how many titles of Taylor Swift songs and albums do you find in the article?
Post your finds below.

Are you ready for it?
"Highlights of 2024: γδ T cells and bad blood"
A summary of the emerging regulatory and effector roles of #gdTcells in #sepsis.
And it may also contain a few Taylor Swift references. More than 50 in fact.
Thank you so much @immunolcellbiol.bsky.social for playing along!

#EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! June Round &friends show @science.org that in early life bacteria & fungi cooperate to expand insulin producing β islets via macrophage infiltration & that recognition of commensal yeast cell wall can protects against diabetes in adults! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Neonatal fungi promote lifelong metabolic health through macrophage-dependent β cell development
Loss of early-life microbial diversity is correlated with diabetes, yet mechanisms by which microbes influence disease remain elusive. We report a critical neonatal window in mice when microbiota disr...
