Abstract

Diet can alter the gut microbiota and shift its production of metabolites, which affect systemic immune function. In Nature Immunology, Mariño et al. (2017) explore diet-gut microbiome interactions in type 1 diabetes and identify mechanisms by which short-chain fatty acids prevent T cell destruction of pancreatic β-cells.
