Really pleased that @abelsoto.bsky.social from @umcgroningen.bsky.social will be joining @emmersonlab-irr.bsky.social @edinuni-irr.bsky.social for 3 months this summer, supported by a @embo.org Scientific Exchange Grant & the René Vogels Stichting foundation. Looking forward to welcoming you Abel!

A lovely day spent in Cambridge at @cambridgeuni.bsky.social Department of Pathology. Thank you @mcgovernlab.bsky.social for the invitation to present in the @britsocimm.bsky.social Cambridge Immunology seminar series and for being such amazing hosts!

The spring EIG session is coming this Thursday on 1st of May. Please join us from 13:30 in @edinuni-irr.bsky.social IRR South seminar room 1.05 for fantastic talks by Dr. Elizabeth Mann, Dr. Tovah Shaw and Prof. Hamida Hammad. See you there!

Great advice on the Dos and Don’ts of writing a response to reviewers #publishing #science www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the #FameLab #Scotland finals tonight as part of #EdSciFest at @ntlmuseumsscot.bsky.social with my young sidekick, who speedily volunteered as an audience participant when he realised the role was chief leaf blower-ping pong ball catcher! #scicomm #STEM #science

Great to be back in Perth for @britsocimm.bsky.social #SIGNET2025 to hear all about the exciting #immunology research happening across 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🚨 Heads-up: a little over a week to apply for this exciting postdoc opportunity in Edinburgh @edinuni-irr.bsky.social! 🚨 I will be in Liverpool for #biologists100. Happy to chat about the position, our research, setting up a lab, spiny mice, axolotls, and whatnot!

Join us in Edinburgh in September for the 38th European #Macrophage and #DendriticCell Society meeting! We have a great lineup of speakers and are looking forward to all the fantastic talks and interactions that make this meeting special. #EMDS #ImmunoSky 🧪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔬 www.emds2025.com

So very proud of PhD student @erinwatson.bsky.social for being awarded a small equipment grant from @cmvm-edinburghuni.bsky.social to purchase a new and modern dissecting microscope 🔬 for working with very small specimens 🧫 Well done Erin! 🥳

Looking for a #postdoc in #regenerative #biology? 🔬🧬Look no further than this amazing opportunity with my super office mate @aidarodrigo.bsky.social at @edinuni-irr.bsky.social to explore regenerative capacity across species! 🐭 🐁 Closing 📅 01/04/25

Fascinating study published in Science Immunology exploring the role of NK cells in controlling CD8+ T cell expansion in the salivary gland in autoimmune disease www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A new mouse model of #SjogrensSyndrome which develops inflammatory cell infiltrate in #salivaryglands and #lacrimalglands - incredible! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Superb article published in @dev-journal.bsky.social authored by Nicole Franks and Benjamin Allen exploring the role of Gas1 in #kidney #development with some beautiful #microscopy and #imaging of organ #morphogenesis 👏

Very nice study out now on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social from Sarah Knox and co showing that cholinergic stimulation can improve function after salivary gland degeneration #salivarygland #headandneckcancer #regeneration www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is absolutely incredible and led by our superb collaborator and ENT surgeon Iain Nixon #salivarygland #ENT #lothian #NHS www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just less than a month to apply for this exciting PhD project working toward #salivarygland #regeneration after #cancer treatment.

So proud of each of you, I couldn’t ask for a more inquisitive, enthusiastic and fun team to work with! Thank you for a great 2024! 🥹

Fantastic paper by @mhaniffa.bsky.social @humancellatlas.org www.nature.com/articles/s41... We know #macrophages are versatile but inducing skin vascularisation! 🤩 #immunosky #medsky 🧪 #morphogenesis #organoid #spatialtranscriptomics #singlecellsequencing

A new platform, a new post! Our #Stemcell #DevBio and #Regeneration story by Silvia Fre's lab at InstitutCurie is on biorXiv. Link: tinyurl.com/2uspcd3u We reveal how 4 epithelia self-organize during embryonic development and regeneration.

A wonderful #EMDS2024! Thank you so much to the organisers for a superb meeting & for inviting me to speak about the @emmersonlab-irr.bsky.social work on #salivarygland #macrophages in such an incredible setting!

#EMDS2024 was brilliant. Thx to all the organisers. Planning is well underway for EMDS25: Scotland Edition. We look forward to welcoming you to beautiful Edinburgh next year. 👀 for details in the coming months. @britsocimm.bsky.social @cytokinesociety.bsky.social @societymucosalimm.bsky.social

Super interesting talk by @doctoremmerson.bsky.social on how Csf1-dependet macrophages regulate salivary gland tissue regeneration. I‘m excited to further collaborate on understanding the different roles of #macrophages and #adenophages in the SG 💪🏽 #EMDS2024 #ImmunoSky

Is #niche alone really everything? We discuss the concept of #developmental_programming & how #macrophage #ontogeny #longevity #environment can influence #macrophage functions later in life www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...
