As the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure: the flow-cytometry doublets that are routinely excluded from analysis are in fact a rich source of tumor-reactive T cells. #immunology #science #tumor #immunotherapy buff.ly/pETJPEH

ICYMI🚨 In light of the #NobelPrize recognizing discoveries in peripheral immune tolerance, our article "Regulatory T cells in the tumour microenvironment" is now free to read. Discover how #Tregs shape cancer immunity 📖 👇

#WeekendRead! #EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Riedel, Mattavelli, Helal &co show @cp-immunity.bsky.social that fibroblasts in breast cancer metastatic lymph nodes sense tumor-derived TLR4 agonists to attract monocytes & form an immunosuppressive niche, favoring lung metastasis! dlvr.it/TPCYjz

..cross your 't's folks.. here's how! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Online now: The tumor microenvironment of 14,837 breast cancers is associated with clinical outcome independently of genomic subtypes

Wonderful news to start the week — our research on #immunotherapy and tissue-specific resistance mechanisms has been granted support from Cancerfonden! Stort tack till Cancerfonden och inte minst alla givare som gör detta möjligt! www.linkedin.com/posts/cancer...

Haven't read this one yet, but looks like a fantastic resource for everyone working with complex #spectral #flowcytometry panels!

One of the highlights of the annual SSI meeting is the recognition of researchers who have made significant contributions in the immunology field in Scandinavia. We want to extend our warmest congratulations to SWIMM member Chris Tibbitt @ki.se who was awarded the SSI Young Investigator Award 2025

CRATERs have been identified as sites of increased tumor antigen presentation where T cells can recognize and kill tumor cells bit.ly/3J8g42v  @ayaludin.bsky.social

Our new review in @natbiomedeng.nature.com is out! RNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have huge potential—but their strong liver and immune cell uptake has mostly confined them to vaccines and liver therapies. We explore how to move beyond those limits. free to read 🔗 rdcu.be/eLxGs

The #Scandinavian SSI #Immunology meeting has come to an end. Is has been 3 days full with amazing science from invited speakers, selected short talks, poster presentations, and social and network opportunities! We already look forward to the meeting in #Bergen! @ssi-immunology.bsky.social

1/2 Sharing exciting news! ✨ Our recently published paper “Anchored screening identifies transcription factor blueprints underlying dendritic cell diversity and subset-specific anti-tumor immunity” has been selected for the cover of the October issue of Immunity! @cp-immunity.bsky.social

Check out our latest in @cp-trendscancer.bsky.social where rockstar PhD student @laurarosenberg.bsky.social reviews cancer therapies known to induce innate immune responses through the reactivation of Transposable Elements.

So happy to share that our review in #ImmunolRev is finally out! 😃 We discuss how the immune system builds specialized TLSs across organs and conditions. Huge thanks to @StephanGuillaume, @iannaconelab.bsky.social & @linterman.bsky.social for this collaboration! dx.doi.org/10.1111/imr.70063

📢 The deadline to register for the annual meeting of the #Scandinavian Society of #Immunology is approaching fast! Join us for a great line up of invited speakers, short talks, networking activities, etc in beautiful #Stockholm! More info below 👇🏼

The laboratory of Filipe Pereira @lunduniversity.bsky.social in @cp-immunity.bsky.social "uncover transcriptional circuits that control DC diversification" Very cool approach and can't wait to hear more about it the next French DC society meeting👇 www.cfcd.fr/meeting/prog...

The registration deadline for the upcoming SSI 2025 meeting in Stockholm is coming up quickly! Register before the 12th of September 23:59 to attend the conference. The preliminary program has been published, so take a look on our website if you're curious: swimm.se/ssi2025-scie...

Can't get enough of #immunology? Join Global ImmunoTalks — a free, international webinar series featuring leading immunologists from around the world 🌍 🔬 Weekly talks 📅 Live & recorded sessions 🌐 Open to everyone Follow @globalimmuno.bsky.social for the latest updates! Starting today 👇🏼

Dendritic cells! What can’t they do?! In addition to being the surveilling determinants of self vs. non-self, they can degrade NETs, unmasking tumors protected by suppressive neutrophils. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thrilled to share our new publication on the first-in-human phase 1 trial of intratumoral Fc-engineered CD40 agonistic antibody 2141-V11 in metastatic cancer. Over 10 years of preclinical work at the Ravetch lab led to this moment, made possible by an amazing team! 🧵 🪡 www.cell.com/cancer-cell/...

Really cool new paper @science.org on how platelets sequester ctDNA and can be used for screening and prediction purposes. Congrats to the authors! 👏 Link, and great thread below 👇🏼

🚨 Our new #preprint is out! doi.org/10.1101/2025... We used #PerturbMap spatial functional genomics in pancreatic cancer to track tumor clone dynamics and uncover how extracellular factors like Serpine1 and Serpinb2 drive immune evasion. 🧵 (1/8)

A striking new study showing that #virus infection can awaken dormant #cancer cells 🦠🧪 "Increased risk of cancer-related death in COVID+ individuals was most pronounced in the months immediately following infection, mirroring the rapid proliferation of reawakened cancer cells observed in the mice"

New protocol paper out from the Pereira lab. The protocol describes the in vivo #reprogramming of cancer cells into #DC1-like cells within the #TME through enforced expression of the transcription factors PU.1, IRF8, and BATF3. www.linkedin.com/posts/carlos...

The numbers of women in science falls substantially at the transition from postdoc to independent investigator/ PI So what can we do to prevent this? One initiative we now organise annually at #EACR is the highly successful 'Women in Leadership' workshop ⏬ #WomenInScience 🧪 @helloeacr.bsky.social

Some say you either have "it" or you don't, and that creativity cannot be learned, but that really misses the point. Creativity is lost in the wrong environment. We need to recognize the "night science" aspect of our work and that we need to nurture it in our training. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It was a privilege and a pleasure for both myself and @menezesnmaria.bsky.social‬ to preview a great upcoming article in @cp-immunity.bsky.social‬ by @kamphorstlab.bsky.social‬ showing an unexpected inhibitory role for ICOS in exhausted CD8+ T cells. www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

SOX2 and NR2F1 cooperate to make #neurons in the #Thalamus for visual input from the #retina #DevBio journals.biologists.com/bio/article/... ‪ @biologyopen.bsky.social In collab w Sara Mercurio and Silvia Nicolis @btbsunimib.bsky.social Driven by Linda Serra and @annanordin.bsky.social

Our paper is out! Check out this beautiful story where we uncovered that the costimulatory molecule ICOS is detrimental for PD-1+ CD8 T cells. Sustained ICOS signaling reduces memory-like features of progenitor exhausted CD8 T cells in chronic viral infection and liver cancer.

Even though abstract submission has closed, registration for SSI 2025 is still open! Register now at swimm.se/ssi2025-regi... to hear inspiring talks, enjoy our social activities and learn about scandinavian immunology research!

🚨very nice story in @nature.com showing that "disruption of dendritic cells motility in tumors promotes immune evasion, and its enhancement offers a promising direction for DC-centric immunotherapy"🚨. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧠 Neuro-immunology is reshaping how we understand the brain - across many diseases, including #cancer In this research highlight 🧪🔬 we discuss a new study in #Nature by Remsik, Boire et al showing how IFNγ-activated immune cells in the CNS, incl DCs, help constrain leptomeningeal #metastasis
