Microenvironment and immunity

 

 

Lymphoid cells and the tissue microenvironment interact to define health and immunity of the host.

 

 

Microbiota, lymphoid cells and stromal cells develop a crosstalk that allows maintaining homeostasis, organize defense, and resolve inflammation to restore tissue integrity. Deregulation of this crosstalk prolongs inflammation or prevents the healing process, resulting in chronic inflammatory pathologies. Our previous work has led us to define central actors among pro-inflammatory lymphoid and stromal cells (in collaboration with the team of Lucie Peduto, https://research.pasteur.fr/en/team/group-lucie-peduto/), and to identify components of the symbiotic microbiota that efficiently modulate immunity.
