Very interesting talk by Kirstin Rollins Kirstin Rollins on phagocytosis and trogocytosis of solid tumor cells by macrophages. Mechanoimmunology #cellbio2023 Poster at B747 on Tuesday



Our latest is out! Super postdoc Abhinava Mishra & Super PhD student Mel Rodriguez solve a 25-year-old cold case in flies, find a surprising explanation for a human disease, and collab with Meghan Morrissey to enhance CAR-M cancer immunotherapy: RaceCAR-M pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A few years back, connecting fruit fly ovaries to human immunodeficiency and cancer immunotherapy seemed like a wild idea! 🦟🧪 But guess what? It's not wild anymore! Thanks to the vision and supervision of Denise Montell and Meghan Morrissey to connect these dots. #immunotherapy

Exciting new research from our lab, led by PhD student Alex Settle, is up now on BioRxiv! Using deformable hydrogel particles, we explored how macrophages respond to the rigidity of their targets during phagocytosis! Check it out now. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to see our collaboration with Denise Montell featured in Scientific American ! We found that a hyperactive Rac mutation makes CAR macrophages much hungrier 🍽️scientificamerican.com/article/cannib…


Our paper on PM abundance as a regulator for myeloid function is out at SI science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…! I would like to thank my mentors Morgan Huse, Orion Weiner, and Jason Cyster and my labmates in The Morgan Huse Laboratory The Morgan Huse Laboratory, Weiner Lab, and Cyster labs.


Interested in immune cell biology? Join us American Society for Cell Biology in the subgroup organized by Roh-Johnson Marcus Taylor and me! Just two weeks left to submit your abstract ascb.org/cellbio2024/ab…

A light appetizer makes macrophages hungrier for their next meal. My lab's first grad student Annalise Bond 's first paper is out now in Developmental Cell !! with Max Wilson Kirstin Rollins authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S15…

Great summary of our paper news.ucsb.edu/2024/021575/ap… 🙏 UC Santa Barbara

Excited to share that our story on apolipoprotein control of cross-presentation is now published in Science Immunology and can be found here science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Congrats first authors Gerone Gonzales , Liam Wilkinson and Song Huang, as well as Cassie Wood and xless authors too. 😊
