I am very excited to share our collaborative work on multiome profiling of gene expression and chromatin accessibility of more than 1 million immune cells in pancreatic lymph nodes and spleens in human type 1 diabetes in @sciimmunology.bsky.social scim.ag/4o12TOZ

Faculty search announcement 2025: Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Microbiology at UT Southwestern. We seek candidates working in microbial pathogenesis (some preference may be given to bacterial pathogens). Come join our community! (1/5) www.utsouthwestern.edu/departments/...

Congratulations @christinviral.bsky.social and team for publishing this super cool discovery 😎 www.nature.com/articles/s41.... Here’s a quick summary of our cool findings about how stress due to simple mouse husbandry drives clearance of persistent enteric viral infection 🦠🐭 1/5

Chris Hunter @kingofpathogens.bsky.social and colleagues review parasite and host immune factors that impact the development of a mucosal vaccine for #Cryptosporidium : www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

Congratulations Xiaomin Yao and Eugene Rudensky for publishing this story @cp-immunity.bsky.social! Big thank you to NIH for making this work possible. Here’s a brief summary of this 🤯 finding about a gene variant that YOU 🫵 most likely have 1/n

Congratulations to Susan Weiss (@PennMicro), Dennis Discher, Cherie Kagan (@pennengineering.bsky.social), Michael Jones-Correa & Sophia Rosenfeld (@PennSAS) on their election to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences! tinyurl.com/rtdecs92

Your yearly reminder to acknowledge the core facilities you use and their staff scientists in your papers. These scientists are a crucial part of the scientific ecosystem and to continue to exist they need tangible credit for their work. Plus their associated expertise adds credibility to your work.

In other airborne news, here's a fabulous visual explanation of what measles does once it floats into your body. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

For those still interested in infection and the brain - here is a nice mix of math and pathogens - that tests the function of latency and how the immune system deals with a neuronal infection. Lots going on here to dissect - but turns out latency benefits host and parasite. rdcu.be/efknc

What is up Bluesky! I'm an Associate Editor working at #PLOSBiology with everything related with #Microbiology and #Immunology Looking forward to all #science posts! Also, if you wanna book a meet-the-editor zoom meeting with me and talk about your work, just click scheduler.zoom.us/melissa-vazq...!

@cadwelllab.bsky.social has already posted about it, but we do have a new paper out about rewilding the immune system! This one is led by Ying-Han Chen (then NYU, now Academia Sinica) and Kimberly Zaldana (NYU), and it dives into the world of B cells. www.science.org/doi/full/10....

There's more exciting work to come from the rewilding experiments, so please do stay tuned for work from @grahammunology.bsky.social @cadwelllab.bsky.social et al.

Let's not forget that apart from science advocacy the Rauch lab also does kick-ass science! Together with the @psmitchej.bsky.social and Tait Wojno labs, we show that #tuftcells can induce specific protective signaling after recognition of intracellular bacterial infection via the #inflammasome!

Congratulations Ying-Han Chen and Kim Zaldana for showing how B cells are altered when lab mice 🐭 are released outdoors! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Here’s some context for the paper followed by how gov’t 💰 + other sources combine to make these types of studies possible 1/n

1/2 New publication from the lab from the talented postdoc Dr. Andy Perrault in collaboration with Dr. Alejandro Pironti! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39977318/

Congratulations Yasmine!! Fantastic news and well deserved!
