Bifidobacteria-mediated immune system imprinting early in life
Scientific PublicationHenrick et al., Bifidobacteria-mediated immune system imprinting early in life, Cell (2021), https://doi.org/ 10.1016/j.cell.2021.05.030 There is mounting evidence to suggest that during the first 3 months of life, the infant gut microbiome is crucial for immune development. Specialised microbes in the infant gut that rely on breast milk for nutrients play a key role in […]

Delineation of functional Treg subsets using cell surface marker expression
News & innovations, Training and educationRegulatory T cells or Tregs are CD4 T cells that are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance, preventing autoimmunity and limiting chronic inflammatory diseases. Naturally occurring Tregs were first characterized within the CD4+CD25+ T cell populations. Tregs express the transcription factor Foxp3, which is essential for their function. Over the years, specific Treg subsets have been […]
