Abstract
Dectin-1, a β-glucan receptor, contributes to host anti-fungal defense. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Tang et al. (2015) show that suppressing Dectin-1 signaling protects mice from experimental colitis by decreasing anti-microbial peptide production, which allows overgrowth of Lactobacilli and triggers T regulatory cell expansion in the gut.
