LIVE WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis affect 1.3% of the population with 70,000 new cases diagnosed every year. IBD is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that lead to an abnormal immune reaction to the normal bacteria found in the intestine.

After three years of extensive image analysis, Dylan wrapped up his Advanced Science Research project focusing on microbiota-induced γδ IEL/macrophage interactions.

It's surprising how little is known about how the microbiota influences γδ T cell biology. In a new review in Gut Microbes, Ananya and Tingting wrote a primer on what is known about the relationships between commensals and γδ T cells within each compartment of the intestinal mucosa.

We report in our latest publication in Mucosal Immunology that a unique microbiota that induces expansion of the γδ IEL compartment also upregulates CD39 expression through TCR and IL-15 signaling. Congratulations to Sara (along with Andrew, Jack and Alyssa) on a fantastic story!

Our latest publication in Science Immunology shows that multiple layers of γδ IEL dysregulation and loss of their immunosuppressive capacity occur before the onset of chronic ileitis. Congrats to Weili and Natasha (with an assist from Irving) on their hard work!

We're ready to rally and be part of the large movement to ensure that biomedical research continues to thrive in the United States. Come join us in Washington Square Park and show your support of NIH, CDC, NSF and the other government agencies that fund the basic science research that is fundamental to human health!
