             And there's more to #mastcells! Two studies identifying their key role in mediating food avoidance. Congratulations to @Plum_immunology and @florsheim_eb and the Rodewald and Medzhitov labs on landmarking studies and creative technological approaches👏🏻 
           The immunology that underlies picky eating  https://t.co/R32clsLsoZ  Fascinating studies led by @florsheim_eb & @Plum_immunology uncover the #neuroimmune pathway linking #allergic response with food avoidance. #MastCells play a crucial role, bridging immunology & behavior!
