Abstract

How mycobiota influence immunity in gut distal sites is not well understood. Li et al. developed protocols for gut-targeted depletion of phagocytes and mycobiota-free mice to investigate the influence of fungi on gut-lung crosstalk. They reveal that intestinal phagocytes sense fungal dysbiosis and mediate gut-lung-directed immunity to aggravate allergic airway disease.
