Our work co-led by @scripps.edu students Dominic & Jonathan shows that microbial tropism determines how metabolites are presented to #MAIT cells!
MAIT cell responses to intracellular and extracellular pathogens are mediated by distinct antigen presenting cells https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.03.652000v1
