Parasites trigger epithelial cell crosstalk to drive gut–brain signalling - Nature Paracrine signalling between tuft cells and enterochromaffin cells is a key mode of immune–sensory and gut–brain communication, and accounts for the pattern of gastrointestinal symptoms that occu...

#WeekendRead! #EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Julius, Touhara &co show @nature.com that, during gut #elminth infections, tufts cells release acetylcholine in 2 waves to induce serotonine secretion by enterochromaffin cells, activating vagal nerve to suppress food intake! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
