Enteric tuft cell #inflammasome activation drives NKP46⁺ILC3 IL22 via PGD₂ and inhibits #Salmonella, say Madeline Churchill, Ankit Pandeya (@nkeet50.bsky.social), Isabella Rauch (@rauchlab.bsky.social) @ohsunews.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jem/article/... #MucosalImmunology

Let's not forget that apart from science advocacy the Rauch lab also does kick-ass science! Together with the @psmitchej.bsky.social and Tait Wojno labs, we show that #tuftcells can induce specific protective signaling after recognition of intracellular bacterial infection via the #inflammasome!

First authors Madeline Churchill and Ankit Pandeya @nkeet50.bsky.social from @rauchlab.bsky.social show that tuft cells, known for their role in anti-parasite defenses, can also contribute to anti-bacterial responses in the small intestine. rupress.org/jem/article/... #InfectiousDisease

@standupforscience.bsky.social great turnout in Oregon for #standupforscience2025 !!! Thanks to all the amazing speakers!!!

Does your child want to go to college, want to go to med or grad school? The new cures for diseases, new technologies that we depend on come out of universities. #Trump, #Musk, #Vought are now killing higher education. If you haven't been paying attention, this would be a good time to wake up.

The Trump Administration is maintaining the NIH grant freeze despite lawsuits challenging the order, a Nature article reported today. Science funding in the US is already lagging, leaving researchers in limbo. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Join me in standing up for science on March 7. in Salem, Oregon! Tell your friends and bring them too!! This is a nation wide event, with every state having at least one gathering. We need to show up strong!!! standupforscience2025.org

Huge gratulations to Ankit @nkeet50.bsky.social , postdoc in the lab, for receiving the IRACDA fellowship, a fantastic mechanism that rewards scientific excellence and teaching potential. My trainees are crushing it, 3/4 of them are self-funded! I wish that would rub off on my grant applications...😬
