Understanding how cell subsets within the tissue microenvironment regulate the immune response will provide more knowledge in designing tissue specific vaccination strategies as well as uncovering how inflammatory processes are dysregulated during chronic disease. Herein, I describe my thesis work where I investigate how two types of non-hematopoietic cells, lymphatic endothelial cells and tuft cells, influence downstream inflammatory responses in skin and small intestine. I demonstrate that lymphatic vessels, in response to viral cutaneous infection, remodel their cellular junctions. 000042376 540__ $$fNo License 000042376 542__ $$fPublic domain 000042376 6531_ $$alymphatic endothelial cells 000042376 6531_ $$ainflammatory responses 000042376 6531_ $$anon-hematopoeitic cells 000042376 6531_ $$atuft cells 000042376 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000042376 692__ $$aDepartment of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology$$041429 000042376 7001_ $$aChurchill, Madeline$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000042376 7201_ $$7Personal 000042376 8564_ $$9ef0d5231-c1e8-4fe2-a824-f7beda524fd9$$s18921990$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42376/files/Churchill.Madeline.2023.pdf 000042376 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:42376$$pstudent-work 000042376 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000042376 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-12-11
