Excited to share our work from my time at @Columbia_MI. In brief, dietary Tryptophan depletion rather specifically promotes RORγ+ Treg expansion in a microbiota dependent manner. Thanks to all involved 🙏❤️

Rankin et al. show that dietary tryptophan deficiency reshapes the microbiota and alters intestinal gene expression profiles, resulting in a microbiota-dependent expansion of gut RORγt+ Tregs. These...

Great to see this study out in print @ImmunityCP. Oliver and @LabListon show that tissue resident Tregs residing in diverse non-lymphoid tissues show shared phenotypes, transient residency, and common molecular dependencies. Congrats Oliver and Adrian!! https://t.co/32xE4xlSyN

Regulatory T (Treg) cells found in peripheral tissues were considered tissue restricted. Here, Burton et al. demonstrate that tissue Treg cells share a common phenotype and T cell receptor (TCR)...

Beautiful cover by Amy Manson illustrating our work in this issue of Cancer Cell where we showed that lung tissue resident memory T cells present in the lung of smokers before tumour onset accelerate tumour immune evasion. @WEHI_research @DrClareWeeden #lungcancer
