OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Seminar by Dr Lizzy Rosser " How does gut-derived metabolite availability regulate B cell function in autoimmune arthritis"
The gastrointestinal tract is home to a multitude of commensal micro-organisms that co-develop with the host from birth to influence a wide range of physiological processes. These commensal organisms, collectively known as the gut-microbiota, are known to many control aspects of immune system development and function both directly and indirectly. This includes research from our laboratory showing that changes in the gut-microbiota and associated metabolites affects the balance between antibody-producing and regulatory B cell subsets in experimental models of autoimmunity. Further exploration of these signals in human arthritides across age (rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis) could identify novel approaches to specifically target pathogenic B cell responses in both childhood and adult arthritis.
