This study shows eosinophils mediate protective intestinal remodeling in food allergies by interacting with epithelial cells, and their depletion worsens symptoms.

This study identifies neuronal substance-P as a driver of breast cancer growth and metastasis through an extracellular RNA/TLR7 signaling axis, with therapeutic targeting showing efficacy in mouse models.

The paper shows that gut microbes influence sympathetic neurons through a metabolite-mediated gut-brain circuit, with butyrate suppressing sympathetic activity.

The paper identifies a microbiota-influenced subset of enteric neurons that regulate glucose levels through insulin signaling.
