Regulatory T cells in the colon travel to muscles to promote wound healing in mice, raising questions about how antibiotics may impact injury recovery.
In humans, higher oxygen levels during ventilation are tied to an altered bacterial composition in the lungs, and mouse experiments show a causative link.
Research traces the evolution of a gene variant that reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, finding that it originally evolved in response to infectious bacteria.
Cellular functional heterogeneity leads to differences in patient response and disease progression. IsoPlexis’ single-cell functional proteomics allows cells to be characterized based on function, accelerating therapeutic development by revealing new phenotypes that specifically correlate to individual disease or response states.
