Delighted that our latest paper is out @jem.org. An intriguing study led by Ana Cardoso exploring the role of DNGR-1 in mouse dendritic cell precursors.

Looking forward to meeting PFP enthusiasts at the Prato conference on Pore Forming Proteins in June! ⏰ Early Bird Registration deadline - May 16th ⏰ www.pratopores.org/speakers #PFPsky

At last, direct demonstration that tapasin dependent MHC-I molecules experience greater tapasin filtering, resulting in less diverse MHC-I immunopeptidomes that are enriched in high affinity peptide-MHC-I complexes. Well done Andy and Rachel! links.email.frontiersin.org/ls/click?upn...

Wow! Amazing response in the first few days of registration opening for www.emds2025.com Be sure to register early to avoid disappointment. 🚨 Abstract deadline is FRIDAY 30th MAY (Sneak peak of @profandrewmac.bsky.social rehearsing for the 'Scotland Experience' social.)

👉 When splenic metallophilic marginal zone macrophages do antigen cross-presentation equally well as conventional DC1. Congrats to the team of Peter van Endert from @inem-necker.bsky.social for this work published in @cp-immunity.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

Thank you to organisers Philippe Bousso, Gillian Griffiths @griffithslab.bsky.social , Milka Sarris & Michael Sixt, and everyone who joined us for our 'Immune Cell Interactions in Development, Homeostasis and Immunity' Workshop. biologists.com/workshops

Our work on K63-polyubiquitin in membrane trafficking is out! Check out how we use a high affinity and specific sensor for K63-polyUb to identify K63-polyubiquitylated plasma membrane proteins in clusters of vesicles containing ATG9A. Link: www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/...
