BREAKING: The National Institutes of Health has agreed to evaluate grant applications that were wrongfully frozen due to the Trump administration’s ideological purge of biomedical research.

Immune cells by compartments. Lymphatics have some of highest numbers with most diversity of subsets. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Gorgeous work and imaging of lymphatics. Congrats to Cornelia and all involved.

New findings from Bauer, Halin et al. @ethz.ch reveal key differences between human and murine dermal afferent #lymphatics and provide a deeper understanding of human lymphatic-related (patho)physiological processes: rupress.org/jem/article/... #CardiovascularBiology #InnateImmunity #inflammation

Another new policy from the geniuses in NIH leadership. Apparently, ~70% of grant applications for most mechanisms will not be "triaged", i.e. not discussed at study section. This is an increase from the ~50% level that has been in place for many years. I don't know the rationale for this 1/13

For those with an interest in enteric infections (or if you have had Beaver Fever): this commentary summarizes recent studies on the potential benefits of Giardia. Public offering of shares in ParasitesAreUs to come.... rdcu.be/ew8nk

so.... NIH issued a news item clarifying the new use of animals policy. It seems that the bottom line is that NIH will not issue NoFOs specifically about creation or use of animal models of disease. 1/2 grants.nih.gov/news-events/...

Labels matter and they influence policy. Thank you to the brilliant @camilahcoelho.bsky.social for making us rethink our default scientific terms to take away the unintended stigma to create a safer space. People like you help change the world.

Wondering about the role of the Leishmania promastigote flagellum at the initiation of infection? It is essential but not via its motile function! Great work by Tom Beneke, Eva Gluenz @albuquerqueafrr.bsky.social and colleagues 👍 www.tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/...

Dear Dr. Serio and University of Washington, Thank you for being a beacon of hope in scientific research, especially for junior faculty. www.washington.edu/provost/2025...

Taking food assistance away from kids, veterans, seniors and other Americans just trying to get by is despicable, and the effects will ripple throughout our economy. From farmers to local grocers to truck drivers - this cruel Republican proposal will cause unnecessary hardship across our country.

We hope to see you at MPM in Woods Hole this year (again, or for the first time): registration and abstract submission is now open!

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

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...

Happy to share that our paper is out! We examined HIF involvement in the macrophage response to proinflammatory stimuli during Leishmania infection. Thanks to our team for all their hard work! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40191198/
