Check out Jose Ordovas-Montanes covering the take-always from our recent preprint on viral memory in the nasal mucosa. These findings will help inform strategies to better develop barrier immunity to respiratory pathogens. We also find an undescribed epithelial subset, KNIIFE cells.

A lovely night with the team celebrating Julia Tilburg. Good luck at Sanquin. We will miss you #Fullforce

Now online! Structure of the thrombopoietin-MPL receptor complex is a blueprint for biasing hematopoiesis dlvr.it/Sv9s81

Excited to share our recent paper identifying a role for a new cytoskeletal system – Septins – in platelet production. So proud of @isabellecarlota driving this to completion. haematologica.org/article/view/h…

Hi everyone, I'm wrapping up my Post-doc at Boston Children's Hospital, where I discovered my passion for microscopy serendipitously. I am seeking fellowships/positions in light-microscopy (including core facilities) within the USA or UK. Please share with others. Thank you :)

Very excited to share our new publication. Great collaborative team effort. doi.org/10.1182/blood.…

I know our group is MK-biased 🙃, but we continue to redefine what these amazing cells can do. 🎉🕺🏼 So proud of Virginia Camacho and @isabellecarlota for crushing their talks and presenting their very cool science. See ya later #ASH23 ✌🏼

Congrats Sanjay Patel, MD on a beautiful story! MKs, aging, and spatial biology in human bone marrow, what’s not to love!

Absolutely thrilled to see our work on platelet production out in @BloodJournal today. Congrats to Nathan Asquith Estelle Carminita Abdullah Khan ashpublications.org/blood/article/…

Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience - something that I hope in the future will be so common that we won't need to celebrate. Every day I work with these amazing women, who make me feel like this goal is attainable. Thank you for inspiring me to keep fighting.💪

Grateful for all the talent here #minihandsMEGAscience

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Excited to share a new paper in Science Advances that shows a molecular link between centrosome clustering and platelet production. Kudos to Isabelle Becker. @isabellecarlota Kellie Machlus Adrian Wilkie Estelle Carminita Harvey Roweth JuliaTilburg

With a mix of pride, enthusiasm, and tremendous relief, I present our latest paper that describes the emergence of atypical epithelial cells in the thymus with age that limit the tissues function at steady-state and its repair after damage… 1/? nature.com/articles/s4159…

Asquith et al., show that it's possible to target and release therapeutic cargo in megakaryocytes and platelets using a novel secretory system. @nathanasquith1  @isabellecarlota  Maria N. Barrachina Virginia Camacho Daniela Freire Kellie Machlus  Joseph Italiano jthjournal.org/article/S1538-…

I am happy to share that our work on endometriosis and pain has been now published on Science Translational Medicine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I just signed up for the #PMCWinterCycle with Virginia Camacho at Fenway Park on February 1, 2025! Click here to join our team - Plaquetas Bravas - at Fenway! @panmass wintercycle.org/register #PMC2025

Delighted to share our most recent review: Looking Under the Hood at the Cytoskeletal Engine of Platelet Production | ATVB Congrats to co-authors Rolf Bekendam and @ClemOPayne #megakaryocyte ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
