    Abstract Intestinal helminths remain highly pervasive throughout the animal kingdom by modulating multiple aspects of the host immune response. The intestinal epithelium functions as a physical barrier as well as a sentinel innate immune tissue with the ability to sense and respond to infectious agents. Although helminths form intimate interactions with the epithelium, comprehensive knowledge about host-helminth interactions at this dynamic interface is lacking. In addition, little is known about the ability of helminths to directly shape the fate of this barrier tissue. Here, we review the diverse pathways by which helminths regulate the epithelium and highlight the emerging field of direct helminth regulation of intestinal stem cell (ISC) fate and function.

    Abstract Infection or immunization can reprogram innate immune cells generating memory responses with broad protection against subsequent infection, a process referred to as "trained immunity." A new study by Stacy and colleagues demonstrates that, following acute infection, the commensal microbiota can also be "trained" to enhance colonization resistance against heterologous infection.

    Abstract Maintenance of CD4 T cells during chronic infections is vital for limiting pathogen burden and disease recrudescence. Although inhibitory receptor expression by CD4 T cells is commonly associated with immune suppression and exhaustion, such cell-intrinsic mechanisms that control activation are also associated with cell survival. Using a mouse model of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), we discovered a subset of lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3)-expressing CD4 T cells that co-express CXCR5. Although LAG3

    Abstract Parasitic helminths are among the most pervasive pathogens of the animal kingdom. To complete their life cycle, these intestinal worms migrate through host tissues causing significant damage in their wake. As a result, infection can lead to malnutrition, anemia and increased susceptibility to co-infection. Despite repeated deworming treatment, individuals living in endemic regions remain highly susceptible to re-infection by helminths, but rarely succumb to excessive tissue damage. The chronicity of infection and inability to resist numerous species of parasitic helminths that have co-evolved with their hosts over millenia suggests that mammals have developed mechanisms to tolerate this infectious disease. Distinct from resistance where the goal is to destroy and eliminate the pathogen, disease tolerance is an active process whereby immune and structural cells restrict tissue damage to maintain host fitness without directly affecting pathogen burden. Although disease tolerance is evolutionary conserved and has been well-described in plant systems, only recently has this mode of host defense, in its strictest sense, begun to be explored in mammals. In this review, we will examine the inter- and intracellular networks that support disease tolerance during enteric stages of parasitic helminth infection and why this alternative host defense strategy may have evolved to endure the presence of non-replicating pathogens and maintain the essential functions of the intestine.

    Abstract The human microbiota is composed of diverse forms of microorganisms that live on or in us and plays a crucial role in the health and development. Commensal species that reside in the intestine particularly influence host physiology at local and systemic levels. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system for which there is currently no cure. While the cause of MS is unknown, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the microbiota can play both pathogenic and protective roles in disease progression. In this review, we provide a brief overview, based on both animal and clinical studies, of the current understanding by which the microbiota may influence MS and discuss opportunities for therapeutic intervention that may alleviate the symptoms associated with this debilitating neuroimmunological disease.
