Excited to share our latest work! We found that CAFs produce ECM-bound extracellular vesicles that influence endothelial cell functions by transferring functional proteins. Great collaboration with Leo M. Carlin Karen Blyth Fatima Mechta-Grigoriou @CRUK_BI UofG Cancer Sciences biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So excited that Conor's paper is out! Congrats Conor Finlay Lili James Parkinson and more. Thanks to our funders - Wellcome & for this paper mostly MRC-UK. Some of my thoughts in the following thread. cell.com/immunity/fullt…

Super proud of my first corresponding author paper with Lloyd Lab NHLI now available as #preprint and on Immunity Sneak Peek! 🎉 Our latest study revealed how #allergens during #earlylife can influence #lung #bloodvessel structure! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… A thread 👇

Most deaths from breast cancer are caused by secondary breast cancer. Dr Leo Carlin wants to understand how the immune system is involved in breast cancer spreading to the lungs, to discover new ways to prevent this from happening. breastcancernow.org/breast-cancer-…

Imaging 400-million-years old scottish microorganisms is not so different from imaging immune cells ! It was very nice working with C.Strullu-Derrien on this project ! doi.org/10.1016/j.isci… Science & recherche au Muséum NHMPalaeobotany #fossil #cyanobacteria #microscopy

Our pre-print is out! Thank you so much to everyone involved in the project, it was a huge team effort! @CRUK_BI

Congratulations Richard ! It was great working on this with you !

Thrilled to see our latest work “Cancer-associated fibroblasts produce matrix-bound vesicles that influence endothelial cell function” led by Alice Santi and Emily Kay on the cover of Science Signaling. Beautiful images by BAIR_Beatson Paper here 👇🏻 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Beyond thrilled to finally share our preprint, where we have found that Uridine Phosphorylase-1 supports metastasis of mammary cancer by altering immune and extracellular matrix landscapes of the lung biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #UPP1 #cancermetabolism #metastasis (1/13)

Pre-metastatic neutrophilia and lung-metastatic breast cancer: a one-two punch to the lungs 🫁 Simon Cleary highlights work from the Carlin Lab (Leo M. Carlin). “The methods developed for use in this study are impressive…”. Check out the preLight ⬇️👀 prelights.biologists.com/highlights/neu…

Fun highlighting this preprint! Fercoq (Frédéric Fercoq), Cairns (Gemma Cairns) and colleagues have used new imaging approaches to reveal striking effects of pre-metastatic breast cancer & G-CSF treatment on adhesiveness of neutrophils in the lungs:

Thanks for the highlight Simon ! I'm happy you liked it !

Thrilled to have presented a seminar on host-parasite interactions at the University of Brasília via CAPES-COFECUB—my first as a Maître de Conférences du MNHN! Thanks to S. Charneau for the warm welcome and C. Martin for her inspiring talk on the evolutionary history of filariae.

We are happy to announce the winners of the FBI Image Contest 2024🔬 🥇Place: Vanessa Weichselberger (IBDM-@univamu) 🥈Place: Dalia El Arawi (IBDM) 🥉Place: Frédéric Fercoq (Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle-Unité MCAM) 🏆 Congratulations to the winners! 👏 A big thank you to all the participants!
