The He Laboratory is utilizing it’s discovery of stress-induced NETs and novel mouse models, aiming to better comprehend the effects of systemic chronic stress on the CRC microenvironment. Specifically, we study the interplay between NETs, the immune populations, neuron and microbiota in mouse models of colitis and CRC.
