5 year labour of love. How do DCs trigger fungal allergic inflammation? With glycolysis fine-tuned by the airway environment!

www.biorxiv.org Mgl2+ cDC2 triggering of fungal allergic inflammation depends on a spore induced glycolytic shift... Fungal spores are a major cause of severe asthmatic disease. However, the precise events that cause individuals to become sensitised to spores are poorly understood. Mgl2+ type 2 conventional...
