New manuscript from the lab online: Here we define that Notch/Dll1 via Goblet cell-ILC2 acts as checkpoint preceding a protozoa-driven Tuft cell response. Free download available here: www.science.org/eprint/XBEHH.... Hope you will find this interesting. 😘 #theonlylabever #immunosky @science.org

May is Cancer Research Month Terry Fox believed research could save lives. That’s why TFRI provides funding to world-class cancer research and initiatives like the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network and the Digital Health & Discovery Platform.

I don't know who made this, but they captured peer review nicely

Thanks for the support @docdellaire.bsky.social! We are very excited for this project!

Scientists in Dr. @davidraulet.bsky.social's lab at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social have shown that removing tumor Tregs unleashes NK cell responses to control cancers, including MHC I–deficient tumors. 📄 Read the paper: https://bit.ly/4uoezPs 🎙️ Tune in: https://bit.ly/4f2ci85

March 1977 At 18 years old Terry has surgery to amputate his leg after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma. 707 days later Terry began training for what would become the Marithon of Hope. Terry started a Marathon against cancer, together you can help us Finish it. Donate today at terryfox.org

Must have gotten a review in

Funny how many science friendships develop via late evening work email exchanges that evolve into hilarious conversations… I guess normal people just go out for drinks, leave it to profs to be entertained with teaching jokes while writing a grant

Congratulations to our researchers leading 13 new projects who were awarded $10 million from Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Learn more about these projects that will advance science and improve health for Canadians and patients around the world: bit.ly/3NQr06J
