B-cells that are active only in the gut, turning into monocyte-like cells there. |

Science Blog: “What intrigued us was that this theme — B cells behaving like monocytes — had been seen before in fish and in vitro. But now we have a living example in a mammalian system, where this kind of bipotentiality is realized,” said Prof. Gommerman. This B-cell plasticity provides a potential explanation how cells dedicated to controlling pathogens can respond to a large burden of harmful bacteria without damaging beneficial bacteria and other cells essential for proper function of the intestine.

|
EurekAlert: Transplant surgeons live in the hope that one day they will be able to wean at least some of their patients off the immunosuppressive drugs that must be taken to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ.

CKD may cause breakdown of tight junctions between intestinal epithelial cells. |
|
|
|
EurekAlert: Dr. N.D. Vaziri, professor emeritus of medicine and physiology & biophysics, found that CKD causes massive depletion of the key adhesive proteins, called the tight junction, that normally seal the space between the cells lining the intestines. This breakdown in the colon allows the leakage of microbial products and other noxious material into the body's internal environment, accounting for the persistent systemic inflammation that frequently occurs in CKD patients.
