Lovely to see the imaging by @lizihegarty.bsky.social making the front cover of @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social. Instead is our work on #macrophage heterogeneity & dynamics in health & inflammation. We also did a short podcast to discuss the main findings. @edinuni-irr.bsky.social @uofgsii.bsky.social

Introducing the amazing Dr Lily Koumbas Foley 🥰📚👩‍🎓 @crgglasgow.bsky.social @uofgsii.bsky.social

Really happy to share a link to our work showing that anti-progestin therapy could help prevent breast cancer before menopause. Published today in Nature, the study suggests this could be a new way to stop breast cancer before it starts: urldefense.com/v3/__https:/... Brilliant team science

Our CRG newest preprint! Please read and share 😀 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Delighted to contribute to this project! Please read and repost 😊

Lily's last day 🥲 @crgglasgow.bsky.social Thesis hand in next week

#EMDS2025 attendees - if anyone is looking for a postdoc position and likes what they see of #Edinburgh, please come and speak to me or @lizihegarty.bsky.social (poster 71) or @erinwatson.bsky.social (poster 35).

Almost a 3 h drive from Glasgow to Edinburgh but we're here. Train tomorrow 😂 Ready for @emds2025.bsky.social

Not all chemokine signaling is about cell migration! In mouse erythroblasts, CXCL12-bound CXCR4 enters the nucleus to control gene transcription, trigger calcium bursts, and drive red blood cell formation—especially enucleation. 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…#chemokinen#CXCR4R4

Inflammatory chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR2, CCR3 and CCR5 are essential for an optimal T cell response to influenza, in this work from @mariekedoesscience.bsky.social and colleagues at @crgglasgow.bsky.social: www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

Brilliant time as always at our @crgglasgow.bsky.social away day at @sceneuog.bsky.social

🚨 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...

So excited to share our first neuro focused paper from the lab, we show that CXCL4 (PF4) is transported into the brain by proteoglycans within the endothelial glycocalyx and that GAG binding also mediates the pro neurogenesis effects of CXCL4. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The tetanus vaccine has saved an astonishing 27.9 million lives - roughly equivalent to the entire population of Australia 🦘 bit.ly/4ig1KAm Read more about the success of the tetanus vaccine in our latest #CelebrateVaccines blog! 🔗 bit.ly/42CgrZN

Sun's out 😎 In case anyone is in need of a dog picture in their feed 🐶💕 #DogsOfBluesky

Some nice new reserach from @mariekedoesscience.bsky.social and @crgglasgow.bsky.social studying the inflammatory CCR locus and immune responses to influenza. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

How about a tiny touch of good-fulness to counter the awfulness. By both astronomical and meteorological measures, at 9:01 today it will be officially Spring. 🪻

Finally pulled the deactivate button on twitter 💀 Will miss #ScienceTwitter but very glad mostly everyone is here 😃

Challenge accepted 😂 Love this

A little immunology story celebrating the legacy of James Harrison- something positive in amongst the gloom 🧪

Our lab's #1st manuscript from our #1st #PhD Katie is on #bioRxiv! Check it out 👇🏻 #macrophage regulation of fibroblast #collagen #circadian rhythm. #ImmunoECMatrix w/ @profandrewmac.bsky.social @tracyh9494.bsky.social @mcrcellmatrix.bsky.social @mcf-uom.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Poster day! Please come and chat later at poster 2036 #ksmyeloid25

Lunchtime view 😎 #ksmyeloid25

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.

Hallo Hannover! Ready for the #KSmyeloid25 @keystonesymposia.bsky.social tomorrow👩‍🔬

🌺 My Happy Sunday Post!⁣ This past Tuesday, we celebrated the 🧪𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 🧬🌸. In these onerous and uncertain times for both #science and #women, let’s hold on to a bit of #optimism! #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #Diversity #Education #Equity #Inclusion

Despite the current uncertainty of being a scientist, I am excited to share our manuscript demonstrating an interesting mechanism of how swirling motion of breast cancer cells align collagen fibers radially at the tumor-stroma interface to enable their invasion (1/11) @thechaudhurilab.bsky.social

#hiring #postdoc We are looking for a postdoc to work on anti-tumor gamma delta T cells in breast cancer metastasis mouse models. Apply here: www.gla.ac.uk/explore/jobs...

🍬Our 2024 update🍬 on monocytes their origins and development - with @kim-lab.bsky.social and Alex Mildner - The image below uses a 'sweet shop analogy' to illustrate the plasticity of monocytes during the immune response 🍬 artist Maya Rachman doi.org/10.1093/disc...

Man or dog 😂 Skye's 1st Christmas 🎄

IT'S OFFICIAL! From today, @plos.org and its journals are no longer posting on Twitter/X. If you want to carry on hearing about great science in our journal, follow @plosbiology.org on Bluesky here: bsky.app/profile/plos...

There's still time to apply for this postdoc position in our lab. Ideally suited to someone wanting to develop some independent research, we have lots of new projects to select from! #immunosky 🧪

Still going @@crgglasgow.bsky.social 🎄🎅

It's Chriiiisssstmaaaas 🎄🎅 @crgglasgow.bsky.social CRG quiz time 😃

I made a starter pack for mammary developmental and cancer biologists. Tell me if you want to be added or suggest colleagues. go.bsky.app/8ZbyV6c

@crgglasgow.bsky.social is on BlueSky 😃 Follow us for all things #chemokine

Post a photo of yourself from a different era...Undergrad graduation 18 years ago! Before Science gave me grey hair 💀 Not really I was already dying it 😂

New PhD opportunity in the lab with @profjudiallen.bsky.social and @douglaspdyer.bsky.social looking at interactions between ILCs and the extracellular matrix. Application deadline Jan 10th 2025 - spread the word Bluesky immunologists! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Our new preprint is here! We show eosinophils are retained in the bone marrow by everyone’s (our😊) favourite atypical #chemokine receptor ACKR2. #Eosinophil education of #monocytes promotes differentiation to #macrophages and bacterial elimination during E.coli #infection. Please read and share.

The mammary gland biology papers are coming out in force. This one examines how aging impacts breast cells. Given the ones a few days ago looking at rare aneuploid events in normal breast cells I’m going to need a bigger brain to absorb everything.

Very happy to play a small part in this new study from @drpetercook.bsky.social and colleagues, looking at how #dendritic cells respond to, and coordinate immune responses against, #fungal #Aspergillus spores to promote #allergic airway #inflammation. Lovely stuff! #ImmunoSky 🧪 🍄🫁

Hi Bluesky! Please allow me to introduce myself through Scholar Goggler 😃scholargoggler.com Macrophage should definitely be bigger 😂
