If you're doing innovative research about #microbiota and received an MD &/or PhD in last 10 years don’t miss out on applying for the NOSTER & @science.org Microbiome Prize! Grand Prize: $25K & your essay published in Science Magazine Deadline: Feb 14th Enter: https://buff.ly/4gS29ZH

My mind is completely blown by this paradigm-shifting finding. An important piece of work reporting negative results.

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

From June '24: The transcription factor Mef2d augments type 2 immune responses during allergic lung inflammation, regulating differentiation of Th2 and ILC2 cells. https://buff.ly/3BdtFkS Work from @aydanszeto.bsky.social et al. #Immunology #ILC2s @science.org

#immunosky Soluble Notch agonist have the potential to bypass the need for feeder cell lines in the generation of therapeutic T cells and ILCs. Huge potential and can’t wait to try it out (if it’s available to researchers)! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

RORgt+ dendritic cells versus Zbtb46+ ILC3s. Same cell or different?

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...

#Immunosky #neuroskyence our team is expanding and we’re recruiting a colleague with a strong background in neuroscience (PhD level) to conduct curiosity-driven research into the role of adaptive immunity in controlling sleep. Details & how to apply here: www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

A naturally occurring fungal symbiont that is missing in some lab mice maybe be contributing to inter-facility variation in type-2 immunity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨🚨one more week to apply for our Research Assistant position in Tissue Immunology in Manchester! Interested in infection, immunometabolism & sickness behaviour? Then come join me & @juanquintana.bsky.social #Immunosky #LGBTQSTEM 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🧪 #Academicsky www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network Below are the links If you're an immunologist and I have missed you so far, let me know 🧪 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/6aT6qDS

#immunosky The power of spatial information! ILC2s specifically in the middle of the colon express microbiota-induced genes that are important for the structural adaptation of this part of the gut. Loads of spatial data across different states (homeostasis vs inflammation) for the community.

My lab in Aberdeen, in the stunning North East of Scotland, will soon be recruiting for a post-doc to studying immune-ECM interactions in the lung. If you love IL-13, Hyaluronan, ECM biology, pulmonary immune responses....Get in touch and keep an eye out for the position.

#immunosky B cell and TFH researchers: Bioresearch Technologies recently discontinued their NP-OVA 😵 where do you get them now?

ok- sci bsky - trying this out. our latest paper with @arimolofskylab.bsky.social shows that "allergic" immune cells (ILC2s) have a healthy function in developing brain: formation of inhibitory synapses - key tuners of brain activity www.science.org/stoken/autho...

go.bsky.app/Eaua5Jk my starter for neuroimmunology

A starter pack for scientists working on NK cells or ILCs. Happy to add more names as more people join. go.bsky.app/AjNpW2h

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here. The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD

#immunosky Obsessed with our robotic arm loading plates to our Sony ID7000 spectral analyser to dramatically increase our flow throughput. This cytometer literally never blocks so we have complete trust in the whole system to run samples overnight whilst we sleep 😴

Interested in tissue immunity in infection, focusing on adipose tissue, brain and immunometabolism? Then come join me & @juanquintana.bsky.social at the @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social as a research assistant 🤓 Email to arrange an informal chat 🧪 #ImmunoSky www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

#MicroscopyMonday is very much alive here and I'm loving it! My take for this week is Neuroinflammation! Under a microscope literally looks like the brain is on fire! 🔥🔬 Instead of gently touching the neurons, microglia changes shape, gets activated and start attacking them. How do we control this?

Interested in tissue immunity in infection, focusing on adipose tissue, brain and immunometabolism? The advert to join me & @juanquintana.bsky.social as a research assistant is now live! Drop one of us an email to arrange an informal chat 🧪 #ImmunoSky www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...

This is cool work from Ari and Anna Molofsky's labs "Our study identifies a role for ILC2s in promoting inhibitory synapse formation, thus establishing these cells as important regulators of brain development." #ImmunoSky 🧪

Added new folks to the #Immunology Starter Pack 🧪 @sarahdimeloe.bsky.social @mahimaswamy.bsky.social @profken.bsky.social @johannajoyce.bsky.social @alanmcn1.bsky.social @immunoah.bsky.social @bnmelgert.bsky.social @copperbae.bsky.social @benjaminkrishn3.bsky.social go.bsky.app/PY5tCas

I’m getting tired of the ‘but I have lots of followers on X’ arguments. Lots of them are dead accounts or bots. The algorithm is fixed against you unless you pay. It’s a Nazi swamp. Stay if you’re comfortable with that but if you are generating engagement you are working for Musk.

So nice to see more people joining Bluesky. #HiSciSky, I’m a physician-scientist focused on airway diseases. My lab studies T cell responses to inhaled, non-infectious antigens, but I love all experimental biology. For those interested in immunology, here’s a Starter Pack go.bsky.app/PY5tCas

I’ll soon be advertising a research assistant position with project focused on adipose immunology, immunometabolism & sickness behaviour during infection. Ideal for building research experience. Collaborations with teams in Edinburgh & Boston Informal enquiries by email. Please share #Immunosky

#immunosky IL-4 (& maybe IL-13) are on fire! Last week they were reported to rejuvenate exhausted CAR-T cells, and this week Hans Clevers shows their direct action on human intestinal tufts cells to regenerate the epithelium after damage. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am pleased to share our open access review article on the recent (<2 years) discoveries and insights in TH2 cell differentiation and function. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I haven't seen a starter pack of immunologists, so I created one. Apologies if I overlooked folks. #ImmunoSky 🧪⚕️ go.bsky.app/PY5tCas

When reviewer 2 asks for a single cell RNA-seq just because we technically could, but adds nothing to the paper

If my science career doesn’t work out, I would like to write a novel about a naive CD4 T cell. How all it wants to be is like its cousin ILC, but in order to get there it must be selected and activated by the elite gatekeeping APCs.

Thrilled to share our newest study in @ScienceMagazine. We created Boolean mice and CRISPR screened the heck outta ILC2s www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
