Worming Their Way into the Picture: Microbiota Help Helminths Modulate Host Immunity
Lisa A. Reynolds,B. Brett Finlay +1 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that microbiota compositional shifts during helminth infection contribute to the multifaceted ways that helminths modulate host immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models to study enteropathogenic bacteria: lessons learned from Shigella
Annette Siebers,B. Brett Finlay +1 more
TL;DR: Application of this elaborate model to the study of shigellosis has provided one explanation for the paradox of Shigella in-, and the two-dimensional cell model system is a poor representation of the intestinal barrier, as it lacks impermeability and polarity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harvesting the biological potential of the human gut microbiome
Benjamin P. Willing,L. Caetano M. Antunes,Kristie M. Keeney,Rosana B. R. Ferreira,B. Brett Finlay +4 more
TL;DR: Possible strategies for excluding pathogens, manipulation of the immune system and regulation of non-intestinal sites are discussed, and previously unidentified properties and molecules of the microbiota are “mine” for potential therapeutic benefit.
Book ChapterDOI
Interactions of Enteric Pathogens with Human Epithelial Cells
TL;DR: Salmonella species actually enter into epithelial cells (invade) and function as intracellular parasites, during invasion Salmonella exploit various host signal transduction pathways and cause cytoskeletal rearrangements as mentioned in this paper.
