MCBI researchers led by Lotte de Winde developed a lymphome-on-chip model that include lymph node stromal cells (fibroblastic reticular cells), thereby offering a new model to study these cells in the development and progression of lymphoma! tinyurl.com/2mads7kr

This is going to be another rough week for our colleagues in government & for all of us. Vast cuts of govt scientists hurts everyone’s health. Let’s talk about what this will do to vaccines. This is the process. Here’s how they’re going to undermine it: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/bas...

Lisez ce thread en entier ! L'HCERES critique le @collegedefrance.bsky.social qui fonctionnerait trop bien pour une institution qui n'a pas un chef administrateur de métier plutôt qu'un collège de professeurs qui s'autogèrent… IL FAUT SUPPRIMER L'HCERES, ennemie des libertés académiques !

Have you ever wondered how pathobionts contribute to autoimmunity? In this week's issue of Science Translational Medicine @science.org we elucidate the mechanism how E.gallinarum influences systemic immune responses and aggravates autoimmunity.. #ImmunoSky #Microbiome www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

1. A thread about the value of doing "slow science": When I was in grad school I heard this (likely apocryphal) story about one of my favourite scientists: Barbara McClintock.

Completely agree @profandrewmac.bsky.social! A pleasure to work with wonderful colleagues at several institutions including @mrccmm.bsky.social, @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social and @uoe-eid.bsky.social. Fungi are major causes of asthma but why our immune cells do this is poorly understood.

I remember being sceptical reading some papers from the early 2000’s on rapid effects of androgens. And now several recent papers have now described membrane receptors for androgens (see also doi.org/10.1126/scis...)! And one already has an agonist!

So this is a really interesting new paper. It shows that dihydrotestosterone can be sensed via a surface receptor and this surface receptor (GPR133) is what mediates the strength gains from the androgen. A major reason this is interesting is that canonically, steroid hormones act by diffusing...

Bluetorial-A dream and a bit of a nightmare Serving as Editor-in-Chief at Science was fascinating. I greatly enjoyed working with talented and committed editorial, news, graphics, and production staff. But the inside look into scientific publishing and AAAS was also deeply disillusioning.

Two recent-ish papers provide good reminders of timeless lessons. 1) From @vidigaljoana.bsky.social: "the process of clonal expansion alone resulted in levels of clonal variation extensive enough to essentially preclude us from determining the functional impact of [miRNA] binding site disruption"
