"Wie weet, levert het onderzoek van de darm ons wel nieuwe inzichten op over wat er misloopt bij neurodegeneratieve aandoeningen in de hersenen, waarin gelijkaardige macrofagen ook een belangrijke rol spelen". Onderzoek KU Leuven, gepubliceerd in nature nieuws.kuleuven.be/nl/2023/leuven…

Our new study is now published at Nature Biotechnology as open access. What is in it? Online Whole-Body Mouse Atlases, tertiary lymphatic structures (TLS) in the whole mouse along cancer, and more. Meet wildDISCO, thread 👇🏼 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our latest episode explores the role of #macrophages in the enteric nervous system! 📎 Read the nature paper from Dr. Maria Francesca Viola (Maria Francesca Viola), Dr. Guy Boeckxstaen, and others at KU Leuven: go.nature.com/43msWGk 💬 Listen to the discussion: bit.ly/46ur0yh

When you struggle to cut your paper to meet word count requirements, yet the editor at @nature Reviews Neuroscience writes a beautiful summary in under 500 words.... Boeckxstaens Lab nature.com/articles/s4158…

Can #macrophages remember what happened during their #development? Check out our #preprint on Research Square: Developmental programming of Kupffer cells by maternal obesity causes fatty liver disease in the offspring researchsquare.com/article/rs-324…

Maybe our macrophages remember more than we think 🍔 Super exciting work by my colleague Hao Huang and others Mass Lab !
