I’m looking forward to this workshop next month - still time to register if you fancy joining the discussions 👇🏻 #immunosky

Extremely happy to see our work out in #ScienceImmunology. We show allergen-induced ECM remodelling occurs independently of IL-13 or IL-17 driven inflammation. Rather chitinase-like proteins drive airway ECM accumulation & inhibition of Ym1 can remarkably reverse it. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am recruiting for a postdoc that wants to work on an exciting project on gut macrophages, TGFb signalling, and colon cancer! Please see the link for details - elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Heading home after a fabulous few days in Edinburgh @emds2025.bsky.social Excellent venue, amazing programme, thanks @bainlab.bsky.social @profandrewmac.bsky.social and Samanta Mariani #EMDS2025 #Macrophage #DCs ♥️

A fascinating education in #LangerhansCell biology and function from Clare Bennett, as well as a closing advert for the 18th International #DendriticCell symposium in San Diego next year #EMDS2025 #DC2026

check out our new commentary on 2 recently published papers about #gdTcells in breast cancer www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This is an absolutely exceptional thread that anyone starting their own group should read! I’d hazard that the majority of researchrs who are 2-3 grants deep would benefit too ⬇️ Thanks @labliston.bsky.social

Sunday.

We're not the first to use IL-12 as an adjuvant - but having worked on IL-12 for >30 years this was still a surprise at how much this study taught us about mRNA vaccines and their utility. Here are two others below: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @cytokinesociety.bsky.social

New paper alert! 'Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis' co-authored by Dr. Richard Mort @mortlab.bsky.social was recently published in Science. Available at: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪 @science.org

Mac is on a mission! 🔍 This year @davidoloughlin.bsky.social and I worked with the brilliant @claudiaflandoli.bsky.social to create a comic based on our work on #Mesothelioma 🫁 🧬 ! You can read "Mac and Mission Fibre" and two other comics from our labs at shorturl.at/OkLJq

Can anyone recommend free or reasonably priced (but functional) laboratory management software? For bookings, collating usage information and calculating charges? Would be ideal if it can also support colony management… Thanks! #immunosky #researchmanagement

Check out this lovely study on DCs and fungal allergic airway inflammation from @drpetercook.bsky.social @profandrewmac.bsky.social

What a great way to start this account and end the week: our preprint describing how dermal γδ T cells mediate a skin-lung axis during parasite infection in mice is online!
