πŸ“£ New Review Alert! Do you think glial cells are simply neuronal support cells in the CNS? Did you know glial cells are integral to barrier organs? Check out our latest review exploring the fascinating crosstalk between glia and immune cells in the gut, lung and skin! #GlialCells #ImmuneSystem

Still time to apply for this truly interdisciplinary BBSRC funded PhD project in Aberdeen with @mdmorgan.bsky.social and myself. Develop computation models to analyse ECM-cell interactions and then test them a lab setting! Deadline 17th Jan

We just can't stop recruiting! Associate professor in cell and molecular biology @dunnschool, with a preference for immunology, inflammation and/or infection - all defined broadly Come and be our colleague Deadline 28 Feb, please spread the word www.path.ox.ac.uk/vacancy/asso...

Check out today’s (12th January 2025) Biomedical Picture of the Day by @lucaverger.bsky.social from our lab showing beautiful glial cells in the skin #proudPI bpod.org.uk

3 reviews on planning, execution, & validation of transcriptomic experiments in neuroscience published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social #NatureNeuroscience. A MUST READ if you're doing transcriptomics. 3 reviews, an amazing editorial, a beautiful cover – this is the issue of the year! (mini thread)

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

We are opening a call for applications 2025 – Creation of new junior research groups at the Institut Pasteur in Paris @pasteur.fr all details on our web site : research.pasteur.fr/en/call/call...

Great idea to start a weekly lab meeting. We tried the 'flashlight' πŸ”¦ today and it was a total success. We now use the πŸ”¦ at the beginning of every lab meeting, together with a short discussion about sustainability ♻️ πŸƒinitiatives.

Join Dr Jess Wade on 10 December for the Rosalind Franklin Award Lecture as she explores the technologies of the future, how the most exciting science happens at the intersection between disciplines, and why we need to overhaul research culture to bring the most benefit to society and the economy.

Join the Sutherland Lab in Aberdeen! We have a research fellow opening to explore IL-13 regulation of hyaluronan extracellular matrices drug lung injury, repair and chronic pathology with funding from @wellcometrust.bsky.social www.abdn.ac.uk/research/job...

Follow the next generation of immunologists #Immunosky.

🧠NON-NEUROCENTRIC STARTER PACKS FOR BRAIN RESEARCH: I this thread 🧡 I will post starter packs for fields of research not directly related to neurons: #meninges, #vasculature, #glia, #immunecells, #dementia, #headache, #microscopy, and resources to get started with #Bluesky.

How does mechanosensation work? Nerves are critical, but recent work from Gary Lewin, Patrik Ernfors et al (nature.com/articles/s41...) builds on findings a few years ago that Schwann cells are involved in nociception (science.org/doi/10.1126/...) #neuroscience #touch #pain πŸ§ͺ

It is great to finally share our systematic review on structural extracellular matrix components in soft tissues in osteoarthritis! Congratulations to my co-authors Iwan Raza and @sarahsnelling.bsky.social. boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.1...

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science πŸ§ͺ disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" βœ‚οΈ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧡 1/

#LocationLocationLocation! Baghdadi, Kim &co show @science.org that intestinal stem cells #ISCs located at the bottom of the crypts sense a more rigid environment & activate PIEZO to tune their proliferation/differentiation maintaining gut physiology! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

Fascinating new paper about how commensal #fungi can promote #type2 responses in mice, a process involving fungal induction of #IL-33 πŸ„ πŸ§ͺ #ImmunoSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New PhD opportunity in the lab with @profjudiallen.bsky.social and @douglaspdyer.bsky.social looking at interactions between ILCs and the extracellular matrix. Application deadline Jan 10th 2025 - spread the word Bluesky immunologists! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Honoured to have been invited to present at the Immunosensation Cluster Science Days 2024 that showcased the impressive research going on in Bonn. Fantastic day of science and networking. Thank you

πŸŽ‰ the 1st paper from my post-doc is published πŸŽ‰ We found that #lunginjury caused by migration of N.brasiliensis induces an #IL-13 dependent #hyaluronan matrix. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

🧠 Neuroimmunology is transforming our understanding of health and disease at barrier sites. One of my favourite #MucosalImmunology reviews this year is out now #OpenAccess @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

Looking forward to hosting Lizi in the lab 😊

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here. The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD

See you there πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
