New preprint is out! 📣 @MaizelsLab
We have done Spatial Transcriptomics on H. polygyrus infected guts 🪱🔬🧬 and found new insights into how the host defends itself against this very cool parasite!

Happy to share this preprint from @MaizelsLab decribing smartness of a murine parasite H. polygyrus.
The helminth TGF-beta mimic TGM4 is a modular ligand that binds CD44, CD49d and TGF-beta receptors to preferentially target myeloid cells biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
