Taenia crassiceps can undergo asexual proliferation in their intermediate hosts - while convenient, it has its drawbacks. This study found that after years of being maintained through serial passages in lab mice, these tapeworms developed abnormalities. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

🚨 New preprint alert! Leukocytes can enter and migrate within every tissue of the body, even though tissues vary in their chemical and mechanical composition. Here, we asked if leukocytes accomplish this by using tissue-specific migration strategies. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Gut feeling is real: The intestinal immune system is activated in response to inflammatory cues regardless of their origin. Great work from Michael Gerner journals.aai.org/jimmunol/artic…

With >920 species, Hymenolepididae is an extremely speciose family of tapeworms. When researchers examined the phylogeny of hymenolepids from mammalians hosts, they found that these tapeworms have switched hosts between rodents and shrews multiple times. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

I am excited to share our Nature Communications paper describing the structure of #LAG3 bound to MHC-II. This project was carried out by Q&M et al at Moffitt Research and provides new insights into the mechanism by which LAG3 suppresses T cell activation. nature.com/articles/s4146…

This paper on thromboinflammation is everywhere this week. Unfortunately nobody commenting on it seems to have read it! I have, and it definitely doesn't say what commentators are suggesting. 🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…
