Moeser GI Stress Lab

Thank you for sharing our recent research @Jordanrosenfeld in @leukocytebiol - Great article!#MoeserLab #gutbrainaxis #immunesystem twitter.com/nbcnews/status…

How does early-life stress affect us later in life? Dr. Adam Moeser's research looks at how stress reprograms immune cells, with implications that can help science improve the wellbeing of animals and humans. Read: msutoday.msu.edu/news/2025/msu-…

Learning a lot at the #AAI2023 meeting in DC! @danmucida gave a great talk on the role of the microbiome in regulating enteric glial and neuronal damage and repair in the gut. Very impressive! #neuroimmunology

"Mast cells: small but mighty! @GIStressBioLab is exploring their unsung roles in stress responses and neuroimmune development in people and animals. #MoreThanAllergies @MSUvets"

Proud of my colleague and collaborator @GeoffroyLaumet for his groundbreaking research on how monocytes regulate pain resolution differently in males and females. He is a leader in the field of pain research and a great colleague. #painresearch #MSU

Phthalates are endocrine disruptors that can alter mast cell development and anaphylaxis across the lifespan in a sex-specific way. @GIStressBioLab was the first to report this in @PNAS, Mackey et al. 2020: bit.ly/3Hn0Y8y. #mastcells #environmental toxin #sexdifferences

New review by Rinne et al. (2023): how early life stress affects maternal-fetal health. Related to @GIStressBioLab's NIH and USDA-funded research exploring the link between early life stress and lifetime health in humans and animals. #EarlyLifeStress bit.ly/3HfLAHC

#TriviaTuesday: Mast cells are key players in anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that was uncovered in 1902 by Richet and Portier. Richet got the Nobel Prize for it! Today, @GIStressBioLab research seeks a cure for anaphylaxis and mast cell diseases. #MastCells @msuvets

#MastCellMonday: Did you know? Mast cells, @GIStressBioLab's favorite cell type, were first discovered by Paul Ehrlich in 1877. He observed their granules and named them "Mastzellen," which means "well-fed cells" in German. #MastCells

Fun article about Adam Moeser and me and our collaboration on mast cells! Also highlights @nataliaduquew and her work with us. Working with both of them is one of my favorite parts of science!

Excited to share that @RobisonLabMSU & @GIStressBioLab received a $2M+ R01 grant from @NIH for our #mastcells & ΔFosB research! Read about how a chance encounter at a distillery led to this interdisciplinary collaborative research with huge potential. bit.ly/3lPkgZ4

Interesting new review! Immune cells that trigger inflammation, may play a role in depression & sex differences in their activation could contribute to higher prevalence in women. Might be biased but I loved the mast cell section! TY for citing our work! bit.ly/3SQsSe0"

The prevalence of early life adversity (ELA) is alarmingly high with enduring negative immune health outcomes. bit.ly/3IIZB1z. This is a focus of @GIStressBioLab research, exploring how ELA shapes health outcomes in people and animals. #earlylifeadversity

"Metabolic switch behind #mastcell regranulation uncovered! Exciting new findings from my former mentor's lab at Duke University published in @CellReports. Discover the unique & cool world of mast cells: bit.ly/3YlzKSR #inspiredbymentors

“Supporting our dairy cows postpartum! Check out this informative video on the exciting research being done by Miguel Chirivi Gonzalez of the Contreras Lab @cvmvets #dairycowhealth

Postpartum disease is a major risk for dairy cows. Student researcher Miguel Chirivi Gonzalez is examining how these animals can be protected from diseases they're predisposed to: youtu.be/3l98Hi72H34

"Breaking down the gut-brain connection! A new review explores the role of #neuroimmune interactions in disorders of gut-brain interaction, from functional to immune-mediated. #mastcells #guthealth #research"gut.bmj.com/content/early/…

Exciting new study on #ACEs impact on immune dev. "Proteome analysis shows altered mitochondrial biology in adults reporting childhood adversity." Vital insights that support our research on the lasting effects of #ACEs. #ImmuneDevelopment nature.com/articles/s4139…

Yesterday was a phenomenal experience presenting our research on mast cells at the @MayoClinic! Honored for the invitation and opportunity to meet with world-renowned @MayoGIHep researchers, clinician scientists and trainees. #mastcells @msuvets #gutbrainaxis @GIStressBioLab

Just attended a great gut health advisory meeting by @NutriQuest_ in Minnesota. Discussed innovative ways to improve gut health and barrier function in calves and pigs. #guthealth #calfhealth #pighealth #Nutriquest
