Interested in #immunometabolism #immunity #metabolism #monocytes? Check out this preview I wrote (with my supervisor Ana Domingos) on a fascinating, dogma-busting paper from the Swirski lab! lnkd.in/eNFXk_if Thank you Emma Haberman for the figure artwork!

Here it is! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… A years-long project that took a lot of turns to get to this point through the tremendous work of Matthieu Rousseau, Livia L Mariano, and Tracy Canton ☺️☺️☺️🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾

John Lukens I think a summary of the last few decades of MØ literature is that macrophages are almost everywhere and that they serve more homeostatic functions than their bona fide immune-related activities. They are a para-immune cell.

Ever wondered how dendritic cells that have never been at the site of a challenge know how to drive the right kind of T cell response? We did, and it’s finally come together! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Science Immunology

Fascinating new framework for single cell seq analysis I had the pleasure of learning about from Davi himself. A particularly relevant method for understanding the functional heterogeneity of T cells - check it out!!

Great paper, yet another proof that the fixation you use for your staining can make a huge difference: just look at figures 2 and 7! science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Macrophages strike again! This time, infiltrating macrophages trigger cell death of pineal gland innervating neurons, causing functional denervation, impaired melatonin production, and sleep disruption! Not “just” immune cells! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Very tired at the last day of #BSI23 after a 5am poster presentation at the afterparty... Invite Conan O'Brien and Emma Haberman to your parties if you want some proper immunology entertainment 😅

What a fantastic #BSI23 and what a pleasure to be able to present my PhD work to such an engaged audience of immunologists! My Fitbit said I was in fat burning mode for the duration of my talk too which may help to offset some of the indulgences that followed! 👨‍🔬🔬🍺 🍔

Microglia are the brain's resident immune cells. Their job is to patrol the brain's blood vessels looking for invading pathogens to gobble up. But what happens when they go rogue? Great article on brain-macrophages from the BBC bbc.com/future/article…
