IL-22 promotes genesis of small intestinal secretory cells that protect against cholera in mice

Masataka Suzuki, Yuko Hasegawa, Hailong Zhang, Zhu Liang, Guodong Tie, Ramesh A. Shivdasani, Matthew K. Waldor

This study shows IL-22 promotes mucus-secreting cells in the small intestine, protecting mice from cholera by reducing V. cholerae colonization.

The Mla pathway promotes Vibrio cholerae re-expansion from stationary phase

Deborah R. Leitner, Franz G. Zingl, Alexander A. Morano, Hailong Zhang, Matthew K. Waldor

This study identifies the Mla pathway as critical for Vibrio cholerae re-expansion from stationary phase by maintaining energy homeostasis and preventing outer membrane vesicle shedding.
