Infection-generated electric field in gut epithelium drives bidirectional migration of macrophages
2018-09-25
Abstract excerpt
Many bacterial pathogens hijack macrophages to egress from the port of entry to the lymphatic/blood-stream, causing dissemination of life-threatening infections. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we report that Salmonella infection generates directional electric fields (EF) in the follicle-associated epithelium of mouse cecum. In vitro application of an EF, mimicking the infection...
