Mucosal tissues are constitutively colonized by a wide assortment of host-adapted microbes.
This includes the polymorphic fungus Candida albicans which is a primary target of human�…

Mucosal barriers are densely colonized by pathobiont microbes such as Candida albicans,
capable of invasive disseminated infection. However, systemic infections occur infrequently�…

Commensal intestinal microbes are collectively beneficial in preventing local tissue injury
and augmenting systemic antimicrobial immunity. However, given the near-exclusive focus�…

Pregnancy confers partner-specific protection against complications in future pregnancy that
parallel persistence of fetal microchimeric cells (FMcs) in mothers after parturition. We show�…

Supramolecular coordination complexes with solid-state stimuli-responsive characteristics
are highly desirable but are rarely reported. Herein, we describe two coordination-driven self�…

Aberrant immune responses to resident microbes promote inflammatory bowel disease and
other chronic inflammatory conditions. However, how microbiota-specific immunity is�…

Developing universal stimuli‐responsive materials capable of emitting a broad spectrum of
colors is highly desirable. Herein, we deliberately grafted a conformation‐adaptable organic�…

Adaptive immune components are thought to exert non-overlapping roles in antimicrobial
host defence, with antibodies targeting pathogens in the extracellular environment and T�…

Colitis caused by Clostridium difficile infection is a growing cause of human morbidity and
mortality, especially after antibiotic use in health care settings. The natural immunity of�…

Pregnancy necessitates physiological exposure, and often re-exposure, to foreign fetal
alloantigens. The consequences after pregnancy are highly varied, with evidence of both�…
