TLDR
It is shown that tuft cells, which are taste-chemosensory epithelial cells, accumulate during parasite colonization and infection and are identified as critical sentinels in the gut epithelium that promote type 2 immunity in response to intestinal parasites.Abstract:
The intestinal epithelium forms an essential barrier between a host and its microbiota. Protozoa and helminths are members of the gut microbiota of mammals, including humans, yet the many ways that gut epithelial cells orchestrate responses to these eukaryotes remain unclear. Here we show that tuft cells, which are taste-chemosensory epithelial cells, accumulate during parasite colonization and infection. Disruption of chemosensory signaling through the loss of TRMP5 abrogates the expansion of tuft cells, goblet cells, eosinophils, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells during parasite colonization. Tuft cells are the primary source of the parasite-induced cytokine interleukin-25, which indirectly induces tuft cell expansion by promoting interleukin-13 production by innate lymphoid cells. Our results identify intestinal tuft cells as critical sentinels in the gut epithelium that promote type 2 immunity in response to intestinal parasites.read more

Inflammaging: a new immune–metabolic viewpoint for age-related diseases
TL;DR: It is argued that chronic diseases are not only the result of ageing and inflammaging; these diseases also accelerate the ageing process and can be considered a manifestation of accelerated ageing, and the use of new biomarkers capable of assessing biological versus chronological age in metabolic diseases is proposed.

TL;DR: Droplet- and plate-based single cell RNA sequencing applied to ~75,000 human cells across all lung tissue compartments and circulating blood, combined with a multi-pronged cell annotation approach, have allowed them to define the gene expression profiles and anatomical locations of 58 cell populations in the human lung.

TL;DR: It is concluded that intestinal cryptvillus units are self-organizing structures, which can be built from a single stem cell in the absence of a non-epithelial cellular niche.

TL;DR: This study determined that short-chain fatty acids, gut microbiota–derived bacterial fermentation products, regulate the size and function of the colonic Treg pool and protect against colitis in a Ffar2-dependent manner in mice, revealing that a class of abundant microbial metabolites underlies adaptive immune microbiota coadaptation and promotes colonic homeostasis and health.
