Immune activation kickstarts the gut microbiota.
Article
Overview
abstract
The gut microbiota regulates intestinal immunity, but whether immune activation reciprocally alters gut commensals is unknown. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Becattini et al. used a reductionist approach, incorporating gnotobiotic mouse models and multi-omics analyses, to address how gut commensals respond and adapt to acute immune activation.
