Amazing lab to pursue your PhD

Sharing our new preprint summarizing our study on how oral immunotherapy shifts the immune balance of myeloid cells biorxiv.org/cgi/content/.... @FoodAllergyFund

Latest McSorley lab paper is out! Led by Vivien @vshek.bsky.social, this is a story about the immunomodulators from H. polygyrus bakeri (Hpb), and how their analysis led to the identification of HpBoRB, a secreted protein which binds host RELM-beta www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Just published in @AllergyEaaci Led by @dsilvaanish66 in collaboration with @RothenbergLab @ChenVarol @AstraZeneca. We reveal a non-redundant and key role for TSLP in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)- a chronic allergic disease of the esophagus. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧵👇 1/8

Great to be a (small) part of this beautiful new study on global diversity of soil transmitted #helminths from @stephenrdoyle.bsky.social and colleagues 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 New McSorley lab paper just out in Cell Reports! Very happy to see this published - it has been a lot of work, and its turned into a really nice story. In it, we show that HpARI+HpBARI can be used as vaccines Tutorial thread below (1/16): www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Take a look at our latest work from @ikinglab.bsky.social identifying an immune-stromal cell axis that mediates disease tolerance against intestinal infection. It's been a pleasure working with a truly collaborative team to make this project a reality. authors.elsevier.com/c/1kznjL7PXu...

I am very excited to share our article on IFNg, stroma and disease tolerance during intestinal helminth infection published today in Cell. This work was lead by the amazing @susanwestfall.bsky.social and supported by many international collaborators. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A protective role for IFN-gamma during helminth infections—gotta love it! Congrats @ikinglab.bsky.social and @susanwestfall.bsky.social Really beautiful work, thank you for letting me be a small part of it #Medsky #immunosky 🪱 authors.elsevier.com/c/1kznjL7PXu...

🚨🚨 Dear friends in North America: I will be taking a 1-year sabbatical at @uwmadisonmmi.bsky.social with the wonderful @markjmandel.bsky.social (bringing the #mucus back to the marine world) from August 2025. If you want to meet up, let me know! Please share

So cool

We have a new baby! We are going to have some beautiful images soon 🪱🔬🧪

Preprint 📢📢 Epithelial cell-derived cytokines such as TSLP snd IL-33 likely have key roles in the initiation of allergic diseases. We show that despite co-upregulation/expression of IL-33 and TSLP in EoE, TSLP has a dominant role. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Help a new PI! Started working on my first Intro to Immunology course lectures. Any suggestions on the best story/ historic perspective to make my students LOVE immunology above all? Jenner and Pasteur are the obvious fathers but maybe someone found another intriguing option? #Immunosky 🧪

Hello, Bluesky! ☀️ We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late. Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

#Immunology by First release now @science.org Identification of APCs in the gut that promote Treg differentiation and how tolerance to food antigens is influenced by helminth infection https://buff.ly/3DjNQ1e By Maria Canesso, @danmucida.bsky.social , @victora.bsky.social and colleagues.

🤯

Interesting!

Open minds and close friends is always important, science is no exception 🧪

We know everything about IL-33 already, right? No! In fact we know very little about IL-33 in the colonic epithelium Our recent paper finds IL-33 is highly enriched in colonic stem cells suggesting an immunoregulatory role for this niche in injury🧵 www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

When a fungal commensal ruins over a year of your postdoc at least you get a chance to be part of a very cool paper. Was great to be included in this interesting story 🧪 🪱🍄‍🟫

Our first 🦋 post! Very happy to share our latest paper just out in Cell Reports, exploring the crosstalk between immune and epithelial cells in the gut. Check it out! @vivianlilab.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

My lab in Aberdeen, in the stunning North East of Scotland, will soon be recruiting for a post-doc to studying immune-ECM interactions in the lung. If you love IL-13, Hyaluronan, ECM biology, pulmonary immune responses....Get in touch and keep an eye out for the position.

Such a cool paper!

בדיוק פורסם מחקר חדש של שי בל (פקולטה לרפואה בצפת), שמראה שאנטיביוטיקה משפיעה ישירות על תאים מפרישי ריר במעי ועלולה לגרום לתופעת מעי רגיז. השוס כאן הוא שאין לזה קשר בכלל למיקרוביום של במעי. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I'm looking for 2 Postdocs & a Technician to join my team in Edinburgh, investigating #mucosal #immunity & #inflammation during #schistosome #infection. If this sounds exciting to you, pls apply!

Next Gen tissue histology, might be fun to try!

New dates for ISM2024 meeting are September 9-10, 2024. To register and submit an abstract (more than half the talks are selected from the abstracts) visit ism.org.il/annualmeeting 🦠

I think it's appropriate to start my Bluesky feed with the first Karo-Atar lab organoid culture! It took 6 months but we have (almost) everything we need to start doing some exciting research!!!🪱🪱 Let the fun begin 🤭
