Fine-tuning tumor immunogenicity with mitochondrial complex I Our views on a very cool paper from @ppuigserverb.bsky.social we hope you like it! www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Delighted to have had the opportunity to write this spotlight with @juanquintana.bsky.social and the lab, on the recent @lydialynch.bsky.social paper, showing rhythmicity of IL-17 expression in adipose! Fascinating paper, which raises loads of cool questions #immunosky www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

Elegant work by Jason Cyster's group "Our study demonstrates that the canonical chemoattractant receptor-ligand systems well-established for lymphocyte homeostatic trafficking to LNs are no longer the major contributors in the inflamed setting." #ImmunoSky

Thank you Drs. Dan Klionsky and Dimitra Dialynaki for your commentary on our work: www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

Michael J Fox has had tremendous influence on people with Parkinson's Disease (PD), their carers, families and those working on PD. He is a shining example of what a single person is capable of. Well deserved recognition.

Organelles meets dinos! 🦖🔬 Featuring Mitosaur, ERsaur, Golgisaur, Lysosaur, and others, it's such a creative take on the cellular world we know and love. 💚 Which dino-organelle is your favorite? Let us know below! 👇

T cells get hungry! Check out Shixin Ma's new paper showing nutrient switching controls T cell exhaustion. Nutrients metabolized in the nucleus by ACSS2 and ACLY direct histone acetylation at key loci via binding to specific HATs, indicating a metabolic code guides our histone code. @science.org

Just recently I wrote an opinion piece with Shingo Kajimura, based around the idea that adipocytes, besides having energy storage/endocrine function, also act as immune hubs #Immunosky 🧪 1/🧵 febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Hello BlueSky! Looking forward to sharing all things #Immunology, #Host-pathogen and #hematology! As we are heading towards the end of 2024, I'll post highlights published @science.org so far this year - and hot-of-the press research from our December issues!

🎉 I'm a #newPI , and I'm so excited to share our new paper out in Nature Comms today! 🧵 rdcu.be/d2gBV Quick intro for the new followers: I'm from Monash Uni in Melbourne, and we study T and B cell responses to viruses, bacteria & parasites with the goal of improving vaccines. #ImmunoSky #MicroSky

A starter pack for PhD students and Postdocs in Immunology to connect 🔽 Drop a 🧬 and I'll add you to the list. Let's build the upcoming immuno community! #ImmunoSky 🧪 go.bsky.app/RABVXY4

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

Our latest paper reveals an intriguing and essential role for the class III #PI3K VPS34 in Treg homeostasis and function. Selective deletion of VPS34 in Treg led to a scurfy-like phenotype, suggesting an essential role for VPS34 in Treg-suppression. doi.org/10.3389/fimm... #immunosky

#Immunosky #neuroskyence our team is expanding and we’re recruiting a colleague with a strong background in neuroscience (PhD level) to conduct curiosity-driven research into the role of adaptive immunity in controlling sleep. Details & how to apply here: www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

1/23 Big news for the #ObenaufLab! So excited to finally share our new study providing another puzzle piece, why immunotherapy fails in many tumors, now out in @Nature 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

PhD opportunity in my lab together plus collaborative placement with Jenny Mjosberg's group at Karolinska. Looking for someone with a passion to learn and develop spatial 'omics pipelines in the gut. Deadline end of the week! Spread the word: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

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...

ICYMI: earlier this year in #Science #Immunology, Josh Gray, Donna Farber & al. analyzed the phenotype, transcriptome, function, & repertoire of #gdTcells in mucosal & lymphoid tissues & blood from 176 #human donors across the life span! Subjects ranged in age from just a few days to over 80 years!

Mice and humans develop intestinal inflammation when PI3Kdelta is inhibited. Lyn Lim, Shimon Sakaguchi and colleagues provide evidence this is secondary to defects in the differentiation and maturation of pTreg:

🎓 Exciting #PhD opportunity in our lab at @mcbleicester.bsky.social and @leicstructbio.bsky.social. Join the BBSRC-funded MIBTP programme for a 4-year fully funded studentship with comprehensive training in year 1 + research project years 2-4. #PhDSky #AcademicSky Details: tinyurl.com/4fhavzxh

Very proud of this one. Sarah Hamoudi, PhD student in the lab, developed autologous cocultures between mucosal T cells and epithelial organoids from control or from patients with Crohn's disease. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The bad news: Many people don’t get enough iron in their diet. The good news: One ounce of dark chocolate has 3.37 mg of iron Ladies, that’s 5.5 ounces a day that you clearly need. Sorry guys, you’ll get your daily allotment with 2.5.

Obesity imprints adipose tissue even after weight loss - promoting regain and progression. Same is observed with GLP-1 therapies were we see regain in the majority of individuals who stop TX www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We had a great time today at this fantastic event. So many great science presentations, alongside interesting and thought-proving talks on the progressive history of Manchester and how to build and maintain positive and inclusive research culture in the lab. Thanks all for bringing it together!

📢Last weeks #immunometabolism discoveries @Bims_BiomedNews⬇️⬇️⬇️ biomed.news/bims-imicid/... A lot of interesting articles within but highlighting a study I hadn't come across yet: I) Functional identification of soluble uric acid as an endogenous inhibitor of CD38

It was great to work with Kendle Maslowski’s group @mmimic.bsky.social and others on this project, interrogating the curious question of why T cells aren’t engaged by bacterial cancer therapy, and how to make them so! It’s all down to metabolism of course 😉…

Asparaginase expression impedes T cell responses but is required for anti-tumour efficacy during salmonella CRC therapy. More evidence for importance of Asn for T cells! Great work Kendle and colleagues!

Check it out!!! Our work delineating why T cells aren't needed for Salmonella colorectal cancer therapy, and how to get them on board is out 😅🧪🦠. @cruk-si.bsky.social Collab with @bendinglab.bsky.social @sarahdimeloe.bsky.social #Immunosky #Microsky #metabolism www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Proud of @thestemvillage.bsky.social and @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social to be hosting a great meeting today showcasing the LGBTQ+ immunology community! Great job to organisers @mcsinton.bsky.social @juanquintana.bsky.social @franzeprogatzky.bsky.social @drtesutherland.bsky.social and the team!

Can colleagues amplify this appeal to journals and journal editors to open accounts on Bluesky, please? @MicrobioSoc @TrendsMicrobiol @CellCellPress @JBacteriology @jbiolchem @Nature @ScienceMagazine @PNASNews @MolMicroEditors @NAR_Open @NatureMicrobiol @NatureComms @ASMicrobiology 🙏 🦠🧪🧫🧬
