Tissue-specific macrophages: how they develop and choreograph tissue biology dlvr.it/SkxjTY

“To train or not to train, this is the question”. Interesting discussion Nature Immunology between Wack’s & Yao’s groups on the contribution of newly recruited or trained alveolar macrophages during influenza virus #IAV infections! 👇 doi.org/10.1038/10.103… & doi.org/10.1038/s41590…

Fantastic discussion if interested in #lung biology Wack’s and Yao’s labs || The role of recruitment versus training in influenza-induced lasting changes to alveolar macrophage function | ⁦Nature Immunology⁩ nature.com/articles/s4159…

❗️BREAKING❗️ ‼️new class of interferons‼️ 🏃🏽‍♂️The Sprinter-ferons🏃🏽‍♀️ 5 family members identified! Fighting cancer but also very much engaged in host-pathogen interactions! Ben Wiggins Chrysante Iliakis kfibu Vasilis Samelis Get the scoop?! Cell Science Magazine nature

I spent the last 3 days at the #CrickDataChallenge Crick Data Challenge ! I had the chance to try new things with team Elias Copin and meet cool people The atmosphere as well was so friendly and made everyone feel at home (we need more teamwork in science!)

⁦bart lambrecht⁩ on Alveolar Macrophages, showing brand new mouse tools called the Clodronator 😎 #emds2023. Finally AM-specific tools! Studying the alveolar macrophage niche with these brand new tools will be superb! Superb work from ⁦Stijn Verwaerde⁩ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

🏁And that’s it for #EMDS2023. 3 days flew by, packed with inspiring presentations, passionate discussions, and lots of new connections. Thank you to all attendees, speakers, & sponsors for making this an amazing #VIBConf. We hope to see you again soon! 👋vibbio.tech/45UhV0d

The CCR2 chemokine receptor helps recruit essential “backup” to lung dendritic cells mounting lungs’ immune response against #influenza, according to a 2021 study in mice: scim.ag/4x1 #WeekendReads

I'm excited to share our new pre-print addressing how molecular chaperones coordinate during cotranslational protein folding. David Balchin Sarah Maslen santosh Grant Pellowe J. Mark Skehel The Francis Crick Institute biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Delighted to share our latest work, out in Nature Immunology, tackling the seemingly inordinate complexity of #cDC2s. Caetano Reis e Sousa The Francis Crick Institute, we found that distinct ontogenetic lineages dictate cDC2 heterogeneity, rather than cell states imposed by the tissue microenvironment 🧵(1/x)

Thx Caetano Reis e Sousa for hosting me The Francis Crick Institute: I caught up with friends from LRI Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK & discussed our data w/ the audience & your superb science w/ Caetano, Gitta Stockinger, Carola Vinuesa Chrysante Iliakis Dinis Calado Immunosurveillance @TheCrick & @KingsCollegeLon Raj Mehta & PhD students & postdocs! Inspiring!!!

Never trust a single myeloid marker: Ly6G on repair-promoting lung macrophages | Science Immunology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Short-lived repair-promoting macrophages are recruited to foci of lung damage during influenza infection—and they are Ly6G positive Science Immunology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

💥 Publication Alert 💥 I am thrilled to announce the publication of our latest research , which characterizes novel Ly6G+ repair-promoting lung macrophages post-injury.
