I am looking for an Illustrator to help with making schematics and diagrams. Might anyone guide me on who to contact? Thanks #science #Illustration #Academia

Cool to see data backing up an anecdote I have been told - that short (1 hour) formaldehyde fixation can be better than longer (6 hours+) fixation for staining some antigens:

Anyone ever tried super glue (cyanoacrylate) for mounting coverslips with stained mammalian cells, to be used for fluorescence microscopy? I'm looking for ways to conserve microscopy samples for a looooooong time...

Too much data, too little thinking. A important essay from Ruslan Medzhitov on the importance of understanding data, not just generating it. A must read. @Yale www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Useful article addressing an often-overlooked way in which research impacts the environment:

Good news!! Oral Nalbuphine reduces cough count baseline by ~50 % in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis–Associated Cough jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Nice evidence for a role for the ectonucleotidase CD39 in limiting pulmonary thromboembolism in sickle cell disease with striking footage of this process!

"Does this handle survival plots too?" asked @load-dependent.bsky.social Yes it does! See below for RECOVERY. Only catch is it doesn't like the dotted lines that appear in some survival plots (because the PDF geometry treats this as lots of little separate lines rather than one single entry).

Tumor-draining Lymph nodes - Online event next week! follow the link to register On January 13 from 11:30 – 1:00 pm ET, @thelundlab.bsky.social , Dr. Ivan Maillard, @actonlab.bsky.social , & Dr. Burkhard Ludewig will discuss lymph node remodeling in cancer: events.cancer.gov/dcb/tdln #TLDNForums

Absolutely delighted that our latest paper is out today @natimmunol.nature.com. It has taken five years to uncover a role for cross-presentation in shaping the immune visibility of tumour antigens. A labour of love led by @drjonlim.bsky.social and Oliver Schulz. Great start of 2026!

This is cool stuff - imaging covalent drug biodistribution using tissue clearing methods

'B' frequently happens and would grind my gears if it weren't so funny.

Great to hear good news on reproducibility!

Delighted that this study is finally out @embojournal.org. A detailed analysis of how DNGR-1/CLEC9A signals to promote cross-presentation of dead cell-associated antigens yet does not activate dendritic cells. www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Some good weekend reading. If you thought we’d put the final nails in the coffin of ivermectin as a Covid treatment, you’d be right. But this Perspective goes the extra mile to put the coffin in a lead-lined box and sink it to the bottom of the ocean. 🧵

It’s official! 🎉 Our latest paper on the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in megakaryopoiesis is out in @elife.bsky.social ! 🔗 elifesciences.org/articles/104... I’m thrilled to share this story with you in a short thread 👇

BioImage analysis friends - King's are recruiting for a full-time, permanent facility position! Come and work with fun microscopes and fun people (and me!) - please share! www.kcl.ac.uk/jobs/126345-...

PhD scholarships available incl. a project with me & Alex Ivetic at King's College London - great programme, facilities, city, colleagues! Please forward to any suitable undergraduates/MSc students/research assistants. Info: kcl-mrcdtp.com/project/enha...

Pleased to see this out now in @jem.org 🔬 We characterise the early immune response during M. tuberculosis infection in mouse models and demonstrate a detrimental role for type I interferon activated neutrophils in TB lesions. Thanks to all involved @crick.ac.uk and i3S, Porto.

Vav-Cre has been transformative for the field, but it is a pain in the a** of a line to work with. Has anyone made a better pan-hematopoietic line? Which one? How specific is it?

Needing some help from all the mouse doctors around! Does anyone know who might keep a B10.D2 mouse colony in the UK (or even mainland Europe)?
