Thank you Matt Olm and Noel T. Mueller for their insightful Preview and for highlighting our work on B. fragilis & HMOs!

Check out our latest paper on how human milk oligosaccharides trigger the B. fragilis colonization program in the current issue of Cell Host & Microbe! 🦠 🤱🏻

Check out our latest paper on Bacteroides fragilis, HMOs, and intestinal colonization!

We love it when our MOMI Seeds pilot grants engage and activate great scientists to apply their expertise to human milk! Congratulations to Dr. Hiutung Chu 朱曉彤 @chulab.bsky.social for such beautiful work published in Cell Host & Microbe!

New paper out in Cell Host & Microbe led by Dr. Hiutung Chu 朱曉彤 @chulab.bsky.social showing how HMOs facilitate early life colonization. 🤱🏻🦠

First of many manuscripts from this exciting collaboration at UC San Diego UC San Diego School of Medicine UC San Diego Health Sciences.

Dr. Hiutung Chu 朱曉彤 @chulab.bsky.social is on fire! Check out their latest: cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Have you heard about B. fragilis Division I and II? Check out Renee’s preprint discussing genetic diversity among strains!🤩❤️
The Chu Lab’s starting 2024 strong!🧫✨

Excited to share my first preprint 'Pangenome Comparison of Bacteroides fragilis Genomospecies'! We delved into the genetic diversity and ecological differences between division I and II strains. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New year, new preprint! Check out our latest study led by UCSD Biomed Sciences PhD Program student Renee Oles Renee Oles on the pangenome analysis of B. fragilis Division I and Division II strains. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Her thread 🧵here 👇

.Adriana Vasquez Ayala et al Dr. Hiutung Chu 朱曉彤 @chulab.bsky.social (hubs.ly/Q02c_YDf0) revealed that commensal bacteria, such as B. fragilis, elicit a subtle yet essential type I IFN response dominated by IFNβ, termed the tonic IFN response, in the intestine. Insights by Cadwell Lab: hubs.ly/Q02c_S7b0

Findings from Ayala Adriana Vasquez Ayala, Chu Dr. Hiutung Chu 朱曉彤 @chulab.bsky.social UC San Diego and colleagues demonstrate a critical role of commensal-mediated immune #tolerance via tonic type I IFN signaling. hubs.ly/Q02c_N4D0

Nice to see 27 getting it’s due Jem

Beyond antiviral: Interferon induced by bacteria maintains tolerance in the gut. Yi Yang and Cadwell Lab discuss recent work from Adriana Vasquez Ayala et al. Dr. Hiutung Chu 朱曉彤 @chulab.bsky.social (hubs.ly/Q02dbP5Q0) in new Insights: hubs.ly/Q02dbQb-0
