Excited to share that my first first-author paper is now on bioRxiv ! Here we’ve shown that leukocytes have a heparan sulfate glycocalyx that regulates their recruitment into skin during inflammation 🦠 🏃🏻‍♀️🩸 Douglas Dyer The Saunders Lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super proud of Megan (and everyone else involved)!

Some very exciting work from Megan Priestley one to watch!

New paper from the Konkel Lab Lydia Becker Institute online in Journal of Experimental Medicine today. Th17 cells convert to Tfh cells in periodontitis helping to limit disease pathology. Read all about it here rupress.org/jem/article/22…

Konkel and colleagues (Grainger&Konkel Labs,@Hepworth_Lab) outline a Th17-to-Tfh plasticity during #periodontitis that is protective and limits periodontal pathology. hubs.la/Q02z4wff0 Lydia Becker Institute

🚨 New paper by Grainger&Konkel Labs @Hepworth_Lab in Journal of Experimental Medicine identifying a novel role for Th17 cells in limiting periodontitis pathology via IL-6-dependent Th17-to-Tfh plasticity - holding promise for future therapeutic strategies! #periodontitis #immunology
