In fact, you can see Stanley Falkow’s wonderfully presented and timeless two-part introductory lecture on host-pathogen interactions in this archival footage on YouTube: youtu.be/0RZkgWnLXuI No one has ever explained it more masterfully and I recommend it most highly.

So grateful to the organizers for making this happen! Whatever your interest in tuft cells, come join us!

Check out this really cool story from the Moltke Lab Jakob von Moltke tyler billipp showing how acetylcholine from tuft cells can regulate epithelial fluid secretion and help clear worm infections from the gut! Excited to have been involved in this incredible work.

Why do intestinal tuft cells sense succinate when it doesn’t appear to help them clear parasites? Our collab with the Salzman lab at MCW sheds some light on this question. Congrats Connie, Lisa, and Gabe Gabe M. Barrón for all your great work! PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Announcing the 2023 Stanford Immunology Preview event! If you’re interested in applying to our PhD program, you’re invited to this virtual event. You’ll hear from our amazing faculty and students about what makes our scientific community so vibrant. bit.ly/stanfordimmpre…

I hadn't thought much about the reptile microbiome before but Elias Gerrick curiosity and pet tortoise inspired this story on intestinal protists in wild and domestic reptiles. Big thanks to our collaborators Tim Timothy J. Colston and Freeland California Academy of Sciences journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

If you’re interested in host-microbiota interactions but like your microbes with membrane bound organelles then our paper on symbiotic protists is for you Cell . Congrats Elias Gerrick and a huge thank you to all our collaborators! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Congrats Miles on a great talk at FASEB Gastrointestinal Tract XXI. It was our labs first time at this meeting and sure we will be back. #GTSRC24

Not the first and likely not the last review on tuft cells. But for sure the most recent one, published in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology: Kalle and Xiaogang Feng(冯小刚) did a great job summarizing recent findings related to tuft cells nature.com/articles/s4157… full-text access: rdcu.be/dVaOi
