🧠🍔 Just 48 hours on a high-fat diet can weaken gut immunity. Our new study shows saturated fats rapidly impair ILC3s! Proud to see this featured by @wehi-research.bsky.social as I continue to explore these questions @monashuniversity.bsky.social with the IMI Lab!

So excited to share our first neuro focused paper from the lab, we show that CXCL4 (PF4) is transported into the brain by proteoglycans within the endothelial glycocalyx and that GAG binding also mediates the pro neurogenesis effects of CXCL4. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

#WeekendRead! #InterferonFriendOrFoe! @benjbroom.bsky.social @groomlab.bsky.social &co show @jem.org that transient type I IFN inhibition upon LCMV infection or a mRNA vaccine boosts stem-like memory CD8 T cells by altering their location within the draining lymph node, potentiating virus protection

Gonna guess immunologists will regret the "precursor of exhausted" T cell name in the future.

Very excited our work out in @jem.org “Transient inhibition of type I interferon enhances CD8+ T cell stemness and vaccine protection” @wehi-research.bsky.social led by talented (and determined) PhD student @benjbroom.bsky.social Thread below.
