In our next seminar on June 4, 4 pm CEST, we focus on B cells with 2 fantastic speakers: 🎤Joan Yuan - Mapping the early-life imprinting of adult B cells 🎤Reem Naamneh - Shaping Early-Life Oral Immunity: Uncovering a Novel Role for Maternal Antibodies Register here: www.efis-eline.eu/seminars

Looking forward to our next seminar on May 7🎉 🎤Tobias Kollmann - Why do newborns die? What we can do about it: Shift focus from pathogen to host 🎤Clara Delaroque - Microbiome in Heritage: How Maternal Microbiome Transmission Impacts Next-Generation Health Registration: www.efis-eline.eu/seminars

#ProudPI moment: @eva-stange.bsky.social , the first PhD student of the Torow lab , defended her PhD thesis. She passed with flying colours. Eva has been a truly excellent PhD student, and her contributions to early-life immunity research are already significant — with much more to come.

Nearly every baby is colonized by various E. coli at birth, but luckily only 1 in 1000 develops a severe infection: A new paper in Nature shows how maternal IgG specific to mum`s gut E.coli protects neonates. Read here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #EFIS #ELINE #NeonatalImmmunology (1/7)

Looking forward to the second ELINE seminar on April 2, with two exciting talks on the maternal side of neonatal immunity! See link and register below: www.efis-eline.eu/seminars

Most vaccines are designed to protect against a single pathogen - this new study proposes a different concept: mucosal vaccination providing broad protection against multiple respiratory pathogens. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Reminds us of BCG vaccination in neonates! (1/7)

Excited to share the preprint of my PhD work with @ntorow.bsky.social! We asked what T cells in the neonatal liver are doing. Main takeaways: they’re activated before weaning (unlike in most organs), show distinct microbial sensitivity, form microclusters, and have long-term consequences. 🧵⏬(1/10)

'The best explanation Dr. Amaral sees for the pattern of this network is that paper mills are creating banks of images that they use to create entire batches of papers, which they then peddle to certain corrupt editors. After a while, the paper mills make new images and find new targets.'

I am co-organizing this fantastic meeting on #earlylifeimmunity in beautiful Freiburg 😍. Abstract submission until Dec 15th! #CRC359 #DFG www.perinatal-immunity.de/en/symposium...
