Fungal symbiont transmitted by free-living mice promotes type 2 immunity - Nature Kazachstania pintolopesii is a highly prevalent fungal symbiont that can trigger type 2 immunity and influence the composition of the gut mycobiome, as well as immune and disease phenotypes.

Cool new study from Iliev lab at Weill Cornell Medicine showing a #commensalfungi that dominates the mycobiome of wild mice driving #eosinophilia and #type2immunity through the ST2-IL33 axis, resulting in enhanced resistant to helminth infection 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
