CD8+ T cells detect and kill virally infected or cancerous cells. When activated from their naïve state, T cells undergo a complex transition, including major metabolic reprogramming. Detailed resolution of metabolic dynamics of a wide range of metabolites is needed to advance the field of immuno...
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) expand during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and suppress T cell mediated control. Whether Mtb actively contributes to this process is unclear. Here, using a genome-wide mutant library, we show that expression of Mtb Rv1272c, an ATP-binding cassette transpor...
Gut barrier dysfunction is critical in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP), yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Mucin 2 (MUC2), the primary component of the intestinal mucus layer, is essential for gut homeostasis and microbial eubiosis. This study aimed to elucidate the protect...
