A model of early-life interactions between the gut microbiome and adaptive immunity provides insights into the ontogeny of immune tolerance
The developing immune system must learn which microbes to tolerate and which to resist, but how this process unfolds is unclear. This study develops a mechanistic mathematical model of early-life gut ...

If you're a non-UK scientist who wants to come to the UK for a postdoc, this year's Newton Fellowships are now open. You'll need a lab to host you (which could be me, but truly, could be any PI, so get in touch with someone you'd like to work with!)

I'm excited to be able to share this analysis of rubella transmission in Nigeria that was developed with NCDC and USCDC thanks to an enormous effort by both to do a HUGE national-scale sero-survey using archived sera from 2018.

Can anyone put me in the direction of a paper that synthesizes microbiome diversity across systems? Do we have any idea how variable the number of taxa in microbiomes is? I feel like I have seen this graph in a presentation but Iām not sure if thereās a publication looking at this. ļæ¼Thanks!!!!
