Not the first and likely not the last review on tuft cells. But for sure the most recent one, published in @NatRevGastroHep: Kalle and @XiaogangFeng did a great job summarizing recent findings related to tuft cells nature.com/articles/s4157… full-text access: rdcu.be/dVaOi
Congrats Miles on a great talk at FASEB Gastrointestinal Tract XXI. It was our labs first time at this meeting and sure we will be back. #GTSRC24
Online now: Distinct epigenomic landscapes underlie tissue-specific memory T cell differentiation dlvr.it/T9wX6X
Please join us in welcoming our newest faculty member to the University of Chicago Department of Microbiology, Dr. Elias Roth Gerrick @GerrickElias, who will join as Assistant Professor effective September 1, 2024. (1/3)
Online now: Tuft cell acetylcholine is released into the gut lumen to promote anti-helminth immunity dlvr.it/T6qpgG
Very excited to share our paper led by @madisonstrine Intestinal tuft cell immune privilege enables norovirus persistence | Science Immunology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n
New preprint from the Bhatt lab! Congratulations @DanicaSchmidtk1 and Angela Hickey!!! 🎊

If you’re interested in host-microbiota interactions but like your microbes with membrane bound organelles then our paper on symbiotic protists is for you @CellCellPress . Congrats @GerrickElias and a huge thank you to all our collaborators! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
💥Tenure-Track Faculty Job Alert!💥 Monell has an OPEN SEARCH for MULTIPLE positions (all levels) If you study feeding behavior, metabolism, nutrition, olfaction, taste, chemesthesis, stem cells, or other topic in chemosensory biology, apply! 1/ apply.interfolio.com/79129
I hadn't thought much about the reptile microbiome before but @GerrickElias curiosity and pet tortoise inspired this story on intestinal protists in wild and domestic reptiles. Big thanks to our collaborators Tim @maddreptiles and Freeland @calacademy journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…
Announcing the 2023 Stanford Immunology Preview event! If you’re interested in applying to our PhD program, you’re invited to this virtual event. You’ll hear from our amazing faculty and students about what makes our scientific community so vibrant. bit.ly/stanfordimmpre…
Why do intestinal tuft cells sense succinate when it doesn’t appear to help them clear parasites? Our collab with the Salzman lab at MCW sheds some light on this question. Congrats Connie, Lisa, and Gabe @gabebarron for all your great work! @PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Check out this really cool story from the Moltke Lab @jakob_moltke @TBillipp showing how acetylcholine from tuft cells can regulate epithelial fluid secretion and help clear worm infections from the gut! Excited to have been involved in this incredible work.

In fact, you can see Stanley Falkow’s wonderfully presented and timeless two-part introductory lecture on host-pathogen interactions in this archival footage on YouTube: youtu.be/0RZkgWnLXuI No one has ever explained it more masterfully and I recommend it most highly.
