So happy to have been invited to the #ggig meeting in the beautiful Ghent! Stellar lineup for this meeting , so much to learn

‼️ REGISTRATION OPEN for the 6th ICI Annual Scientific Conference ‼️ ✏️ How to register? Scan the QR Code in the video or click this link : amuform.univ-amu.fr/6th-scientif... For more informations : url.univ-amu.fr/journeescien...

Just heard @erc.europa.eu will increase funding for grantees relocating to #Europe. Researchers based in the US or elsewhere in the world, can apply for €1 million beyond the usual max amount to set up a lab or #research team, if scientifically justified. Now to be €2 million. 🧪 #grants #academic

🎉 We're thrilled to share that Dr. Anaïs Rogier, trained at CIML in Sophie Ugolini’s team, has received the Aix-Marseille University Thesis Award for her outstanding work on neuro-immune regulation during viral infections. Bravo Anaïs! 🧠🦠

doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... Very nice as always from the Rakoff-Nahoum lab at @bostonchildrens.bsky.social , exploring how the intestinal microbiota metabolizes plant-derived secondary metabolites, and detailing their effect on gut #immunity . 🧪#gastrosky #microbiology

So nice to have this scientific day! Learned a lot about #cancer and #immunooncology.

doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... gorgeous paper from the lab of Marco Colonna @washu.bsky.social that uses a elegant genetic tools to show that RorγT+ DCs (but not ILC3s) induce oral tolerance against food antigens by inducing #pTregs ( my #firstlove as a @granuccilab.bsky.social PhD student 😍🧪) #immunosky

@iwriteok.bsky.social also for context from a biologist... chelation sequester divalent ions. This includes heavy metals like lead but also essential elements like calcium and magnesium that are extremely important for all biological processes

@iwriteok.bsky.social great episode but it's pronounced "kelation"

🔬 🦠 Check this great scientific meeting organized by Wolfgang Kastenmueller, Menna Clatworthy and CIML's team leader Marc Bajenoff.

The astronautes that returned from space after 9 months couldn't recognize the world they returned to and the progress that has been made: "So many cells have been sequenced!"

We are proud to announce that the AIR-MT project has been selected for funding by Inserm ImpactSanté program (€3M), with CIML researcher Béatrice Nal as a key partner. The project will use artificial intelligence to design optimized RNAs for more effective vaccines and therapies. #France2030.

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Nelson Gekara from the Institute of Microbiology and Hygiene in Freiburg, as part of the 2025 CIML seminar series. Nelson gave a fantastic talk on "The cross-talks between the innate immune and DNA repair system". Thanks Nelson for your visit!

Which microbes are growing on the #InternationalSpaceStation? 🛰️ A team at @ucsandiego.bsky.social generated a 3D map of the microbes and metabolites on surfaces of the ISS. @ninahaoqizhao.bsky.social @pieterdorrestein.bsky.social 📌 @cp-cell.bsky.social - bit.ly/41Z8xJI 🎙️- bit.ly/3FxLX1X

🇪🇺 Dans une lettre ouverte publiée le 12 mars, les principales institutions scientifiques européennes, dont le @cnrs.fr, s’unissent pour demander à la commission européenne un programme-cadre solide pour la recherche et l'innovation. www.cnrs.fr/fr/actualite...

Just a quick reminder for all #immunosky, #interferosky #gastrosky and 🧪 lovers that wish to follow @ciml.bsky.social researchers that we have a starter pack 👇

Hello interferon lovers of @bsky.app , I just made a feed for us! use #interferon, #IFN, or #interferosky to show up in the feed! @cytokinesociety.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/did:...

Today, we had the honor of welcoming Dr. Kim Good Jacobson from Monash University, Melbourne, to kick off the 2025 CIML seminar series. Kim gave a brilliant talk on "Molecular Regulation of Antibody and Immune Memory Responses to Viral Infections". Thanks @kimljacobson.bsky.social for your visit!

The CIML supports the movement #StandUpForScience2025 and expresses its solidarity with scientists working in the United States, where academic freedom is currently being challenged. Gather at 12:00 pm at the Natural History Museum, Palais Longchamp, Marseille. @cnrs.fr @inserm.fr @univ-amu.fr

This week we had two incredible speakers at @ciml.bsky.social, both #interferoSky fans. After @boulantlab.bsky.social talking about basal #IFN lambda in the gut, today Nelson Gekara spoke about how the gut microbiota, and self nucleic acids affects basal #IFN-I systemically!

We are proud to announce that the ANTIBAX project has been selected for funding by Inserm (€2.3M), with CIML team leader Pierre Milpied as main partner. Pierre’s team will identify antibodies in tumors that target cancer-causing bacteria, paving the way for new treatments against mucosal cancers.

I had a great time at @ciml.bsky.social Excellent day talking science. A special thanks to @achillebro.sky.social for the invitation. This institute is very impressive with so many great Immunologists

#interferonFriendorFoe ? So happy to have hosted my friend @boulantlab.bsky.social today at @ciml.bsky.social , showing nice new data on how basal #IFN lambda is essential for tight junction formation in epithelial cells! Very nice work from him and @meganstanifer.bsky.social

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Steeve Boulant from the University of Florida, as part of the 2025 CIML seminar series. Steeve gave a great talk on "Type III Interferons: from regulation of antiviral response to promoting barrier function". Thanks @boulantlab.bsky.social for your visit!

From many years ago, this poster says it all. We are all scientists, really. And the public does not understand science. Why would they? But they can start and keep moving forward.

New proposal text: clim8 ^ (hereafter egg noodles) poses a challenge to reforestation. Egg noodles have already led to substantial reductions in natural regeneration throughout the West.

My face on zoom when i pretend to listen but work on something else

#WeekendRead! #InterferonFriendOrFoe?! Ding, Hou &co show @co-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social that rota & reovirus induce diarrhea (in neonate mice) via MAVS-IFN lambda downregulating a ion exchanger! IFNL is increased in human IBD biopsies as we also recently showed👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2024.10.010

Nice to see this out! Really enjoyed reading the pre-print! #interferosky #innateimmunity

#standupforscience2025

solidarity with my friends on the other side of the ocean! I'm so sad and worried for you guys these days 💪

#EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! @jieyang437.bsky.social @roychoudhurilab.bsky.social &co show @nature.com that platelet-derived thromboxane A2 suppresses T cell effector functions favoring melanoma metastases! Aspirin or COX1 inhibition or deletion in platelets reduce metastasis!

One of the coolest studies of last year would not be funded by the current NIH policy. By studying people undergoing gender affirming testosterone treatment, they discovered how sex hormones shape the #immune response, with important consequences for everyone! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#interferon history is immunology history! the original cytokine :)

Multiple group leader positions in developmental biology in @ibdm.bsky.social Marseille, at an institute that produces some great work.

Very cool study out in @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social today! The #Dinglab shows how #IFN-λ made in response to enteric viruses lowers sodium transporter DRA in enterocites inducing diarrhea. Nice confirmation of our data on #IBD patients as well! #Interferosky doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...

just this morning @angelopilotti.bsky.social presented his poster at the @ciml.bsky.social #PhD workshop! Super interesting project linking stress responses with interferonopathies! very curious to follow up this project!
