Together with IdoAmitLab we’re very excited to introduce BiCE (Bispecific DC-T Cell Engager)- a new platform to engineer immune cell communication for #cancer #immunotherapy. Led by the amazing Yuval Shapir Itai Oren Barboy, now out Cell: cell.com/fulltext/S0092… (1/11)

.Elif Çakan, meffrelab et al. show that TLR9 displays is essential for central B cell tolerance & that CXCL4 inhibits TLR9 function in B cells from SSc patients by sequestering TLR9 ligands hubs.la/Q02htfQR0 In our #Immunology Update Winter 2024: hubs.la/Q02ht4Xw0

In honor of this nice article about our recent work, I present a thread of scientists starting at petri dishes: First up, of course, Alex Couce

Back by popular demand for 2024: The #Oscars as things seen in science. First up, Sam Rockwell as a failed PCR

Always a pleasure to work with sis 💪😎 can’t wait to see future Dr. med. Miriam L. Fichtner, PhD work

A classic of immunology for beginners...

gpt-6 will have the intelligence of someone who decided not to get a PhD

🌟 PhD Opportunities at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin! 🧠🔬 I am excited to offer TWO PhD positions (Research scientists) in Fichtner Lab in the Institute of Experimental Neurology, Department of Neurology, focusing on B cells in autoimmune disorders with an emphasis on

Excited to announce that the Fichtner Lab webpage is LIVE! 🌟 A huge thanks to the talented Hana Mendel for the stunning cover design - an up-and-coming star in scientific illustration. Check it out: expneuro.charite.de/department_of_… #Neurology #Neuroimmunology #Research #Weblaunch

Happy Holidays! Tree from Mitochondrial Medicine

Out today in Science Magazine! We show that rising self-antigen levels during infection give self-reactive T cells an opportunity for enhanced TCR signalling. Regulatory T cells of matched specificity counteract this, thereby preventing autoimmunity. buff.ly/3EXaXQa
