Expansion of genital Tregs reduces neutrophil influx and maintains mucosal barrier integrity during inflammatory bacteria challenge Inflammation in the female genital tract (FGT) is central to the initiation of an effective host immune response against pathogens that are transmitted across this surface. However, if dysregulated, i...

As promised, a 'skeet' -orial on our paper published last week !

Can’t find delta airlines on here, but if I could I would tag them & say hey, look at this!

Pre-HIV α4β7hi CD4+ T cells and HIV risk among heterosexual individuals in Africa CD4+ T cells that express the gut homing integrin α4β7 are more readily infected by HIV, but as predictors of HIV acquisition, associations differ by cohor

Our recent work on a4b7 & HIV risk in heterosexual men & women from South Africa, Kenya & Uganda. Congrats to my student @TosinOmole2 who led this massive effort & thanks to Glenda & Jai & teams for access to great cohorts! academic.oup.com/jid/advance-...

Always a tough call at @science.org what to name the Breakthrough of the Year. But as someone interested in infectious diseases and living with HIV, this is truly a remarkable breakthrough.
We now have yet another amazing tool to stop new HIV infections. We need to use them all!
