Tune in: bacteria may hold a key to some cancer immunotherapies
In these two podcasts, our Director and Platform 1 Lead Dr. Kathy McCoy speaks about her recent study exploring the role of inosine, a bacterial metabolite, in response to cancer immunotherapies. Interviewer Charles Bergquist from Science Friday also raises some important questions such as the recent successes of the microbiome field (Twitter: @scifri). Richard Jacobs […]
New Paper: Patrolling Alveolar Macrophages Conceal Bacteria from the Immune System to Maintain Homeostasis
Congratulations to our Platform 1 Co-Lead Dr. Paul Kubes on this recent publication! Using in vivo live imaging of infected lungs in animal models, Dr. Kubes‘ team and colleagues show that alveolar macrophages patrol the airways and capture inhaled bacteria, but their migration is impaired during viral infection. Their discoveries highlight the importance of finding […]
