Terminal differentiation and persistence of effector regulatory T cells essential for the prevention of intestinal inflammation

Published in BioRxiv, 2022

Using novel genetic tools, we characterized the transcriptional programs of distinct colonic effector Treg cell types.

A distal Foxp3 enhancer enables interleukin-2 dependent thymic Treg cell lineage commitment for robust immune tolerance

Published in Immunity, 2021

Here, we report that IL-2 - STAT5 signaling converged on an enhancer (CNS0) during Foxp3 induction.

Extrathymically Generated Regulatory T Cells Establish a Niche for Intestinal Border-Dwelling Bacteria and Affect Physiologic Metabolite Balance

Published in Immunity, 2018

pTreg cell deficiency led to heightened type 2 immune responses triggered by microbial exposure, which disrupted the niche of border-dwelling bacteria early during colonization.
