The recent changes in the global dietary patterns has raised an alarming increase in food insecurity, ranging from malnutrition associated with lack of food access to the excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods and unbalanced diets rich in fat and carbohydrates. Such dietary patterns not only increase the risk of obesity and metabolic diseases but also impact brain function, potent…
Mucosal tissues are endowed with a specialized immune system with specific effector mechanisms designed to respond to the enormous range of regional challenges while maintaining tissue homeostasis. In this sense, specialized cells and immune mediators are found in each mucosal tissue. Classically, subtypes of dendritic cells, T lymphocytes, and antibody-producing B cells are differently r…
The immune system deals with highly diverse infectious challenges in a manner that both promotes the control of invading agents and restores tissue homeostasis. At barrier tissues, sites of constant microbial exposure, tissue-specific immunity requires defined structural components that have immunologic and neuroendocrine detectors providing signal for the spatial segregation from the mic…
The intestinal mucosa constitutes one of the largest body surfaces exposed to the external environment, subject to microbial and dietary antigens. While it facilitates nutrient absorption, it also plays a critical role in mounting responses to pathogens and ensuring immunological tolerance to harmless antigens to maintain homeostasis. However, studies using infection models or chronic inf…
The 21st century emerged with a high prevalence of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases(NCDs), such as hypertension, neurodegenerative diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases. Agroup of these diseases, called Metabolic Syndrome, encompasses conditions that are intrinsicallyrelated, such as diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia. An often forgotten condition in this spectrum isNon-Alcoholic Fa…
Infectious episodes can permanently compromise tissue-specific immune responses, especially in the mucosae. In the intestine and lungs, these infections have long-term consequences, altering both the function and composition of the microbiota and disrupting the homeostasis of distant systems. The Laboratory of Mucosal Immunology of the Institute of Biomedical Sciences (ICB/USP) studies th…

The intestinal mucosa is one of the largest areas of the body exposed to the external environment, where it needs to deal with microbial or diet-derived antigens. At the same time that it operates in the absorption of nutrients, it elaborates responses against pathogens and affords immunological tolerance to innocuous antigens aiming maintenance of homeostasis. Studies using models of inf…
The intestine is the largest organ in the body exposed to environmental antigens, including dietary, microbiota and pathogen-derived components, all of them sharing the same spatial location. Because of this, the intestine harbors a complex network of immune cells responsible for sustaining immune homeostasis by tolerating innocuous antigens while inducing immunity against pathogenic chal…
Infectious episodes can compromise tissue-specific immune responses for the long-term, particularly in the mucosa. At the Laboratory of Mucosal Immunology (ICB/USP), we study the long-term effects of acute episodes of infection in the gut and respiratory mucosa. After defined episodes of gastrointestinal infection (Y. pseudotuberculosis (YP), T. gondii and Citrobacter rodentium) there may…

Recent studies point to the hypothesis of communication between the intestinal and pulmonary mucosa through mediators from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These mediators can interfere with the homeostasis of distant tissues, such as the lung; conversely, changes in the lung microenvironment can regulate the homeostasis of the GI tract. However, the function of the mucosal-associated imm…
Mucosal tissues are endowed with a specialized immune system designed to respond to an enormous range of regional challenges while maintaining tissue homeostasis. Our research group has been working to understand and integrate the mechanisms that act not only in maintaining tissue homeostasis but also in the communication between barrier tissues, such as the intestine and the lung. The co…
In recent years, we have experienced a widespread of obesity affecting population at different ages worldwide. It has been shown that obesity is highly associated to the development of systemic and adipose tissue chronic inflammation. As a consequence of this chronic inflammation, secondary pathologies such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders may develop. Recent s…
