10/ Thanks to everyone involved in this 25 year-old project, particularly Ainsley Lockhart, Aubrey Reed, Tiago Castro, Calvin Herman, Ciça Canesso and all Mucida lab members, particularly Roham Parsa, who developed the fate-mapping model used in collaboration with the Nussenzweig lab.

7/ Such steady-state CD4+ T cell response to food was disrupted by an inflammatory challenge, and protection against food allergy via previous ingestion of the protein (oral tolerance) was associated with Treg clonal expansion and decreased pro-inflammatory gene expression.

4/ Our study found that dietary proteins contribute to the accumulation and clonal selection of antigen-experienced CD4+ T cells in the intestinal epithelium, imprinting a tissue-specific transcriptional program on both conventional and regulatory CD4+ T cells.

3) Our new study used antigenically defined diets and gnotobiotic models to find individual contributions from food versus microbiota on the profile and T cell receptor repertoire of intestinal CD4+ T cells.

2/ Ainsley Lockhart, who recently brilliantly defended her thesis, took on this question and answered more comprehensively that I could ever dream when I started working on this question exactly 25 years ago.

Palestinians may be banned from flying their flag under an apartheid government, but we can still proudly do it at my office. I’m proud to be a Palestinian American and I want the Palestinian people to know that not all Americans support apartheid. No one can erase our existence.

Hoje agradeci os trabalhadores que limparam e reergueram o Palácio do Planalto em pouquíssimos dias, depois do estrago feito por vândalos. Esse é um patrimônio do povo brasileiro, de todos nós. Muito obrigado.
