New Paper: Tacrolimus Impairs Kupffer Cell Capacity to Control Bacteremia: Why Transplant Recipients Are Susceptible to Infection

Congratulations to our Platform 1 Co-Lead Dr. Paul Kubes on this recent publication! Using a define mouse model of acute methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia along with intravital microscopy, Deppermann C, et al. unravelled why Tacrolimus, a drug used to prevent rejection in solid organ transplant recipients increases the susceptibility of transplant recipient to develop […]

New Paper: Immunological Roles of Intestinal Mesenchymal Cells

Congratulations to our IMPACTT Director and Platform 1 Lead Dr. Kathy McCoy on this recent publication! Abstract The intestine is continuously exposed to an enormous variety and quantity of antigens and innate immune stimuli derived from both pathogens and harmless materials, such as food and commensal bacteria. Accordingly, the intestinal immune system is uniquely adapted […]
