摘要
In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Liang et al. (2019) show that alpha-defensins in the gastrointestinal tract sustain defenses to enteric pathogens during starvation. mTOR-dependent sensing of nutrient loss promotes production of an alpha-defensin regulator, which sustains alpha-defensin levels, loss of which increases lethality during bacterial infection.
