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/s41575-0… full-text access: rdcu.be/dVaOi

We're looking for a Research Associate/Technician to join our lab studying microbiome-immune interactions in the gut. We are open to recent college graduates and/or applicants expecting to graduate soon. Previous research experience is helpful, but not required.

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

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

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.

I am super excited to share @TBillipp's incredible work showing that acetylcholine from tuft cells regulates epithelial fluid secretion across tissues and contributes to helminth clearance from the SI. Thank you to @HowittLab for critical contributions! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

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:

No one has ever explained it more masterfully and I recommend it most highly.
