1/2 👑We’re delighted to have welcomed Her Majesty The Queen to the UCL Institute of Immunity and Transplantation today where we’re funding research into multiple auto immune conditions. UCL IIT Royal Free Charity The Royal Family

It was an honour to welcome Her Majesty The Queen to the UCL Institute of Immunity & Transplantation. Such a fantastic JDRF event discussing our #type1diabetes research and the #ConnectImmuneResearch partnership. IIT Royal Free Charity

Petersone et al. Lucy Walker Lab UCL IIT investigate IL-21–dependent germinal center (GC) regulation and reveal key roles for IL-21 in promoting light zone GC B cell selection and controlling dark zone GC B cell proliferation by upregulation of cyclin D3. bit.ly/3pLquLO

🎥 See new video summary from Lina Petersone et al. Lucy Walker Lab UCL IIT on their study "IL-21 shapes germinal center polarization via light zone B cell selection and cyclin D3 upregulation" (bit.ly/3pLquLO): youtu.be/Wxihht3fKss
