Publication in PNAS by Stefan Schlößer and Anna-Lena Ullrich

The research work of Stefan Schlößer, which was subsequently continued by Anna-Lena Ullrich, was accepted for publication in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and appeared in late 2024. In the paper, Stefan and Anna-Lena show that enteric infection of the newborn host with Salmonella leads to faster maturation of the intestinal epithelium. This faster maturation is triggered by cytokines secreted by local immune cells and could contribute to the disease burden by disrupting the gradual adaptation of the host tissue to the environment.
