Dear SPI Members,
Happy #DayOfImmunology!
To celebrate we release Episode 7 of the SPI podcast, ImmunoTalks:

Henrique Veiga-Fernandes discusses how neuronal signals regulate innate immune cells in tissue physiology. Don't miss it!

Very happy to share our publication in Arthritis Research & Therapy 😊 We found that pDC from #SystemicSclerosis patients with different autoantibodies show different #metabolic requirements.

Very happy to share that our latest paper is out in Cell Comm and Signaling! We found that ER stress in a pDC cell line drives fibroblast activation, shedding light on #fibrosis mechanisms in #SystemicSclerosis.

We have two available fellowships for students interested in pursuing a PhD project on novel molecular networks regulating Pathological Inflammatory Conditions

[CaixaResearch @CaixaResearch]

🧬 Patients prone to autoimmune diseases have mutations in genes that regulate the body response to stress.

With support from #CaixaResearch, Philippe Pierre will investigate this relationship in a rare autoinflammatory disease with childhood onset called SAVI. 👇

This week, the brilliant PhD student @BeatrizHFe defended her thesis! It was an honour to have her as a student and to supervise her work alongside Philippe Pierre and Iola Duarte!

[Catarina R Almeida @CatRAlmeida]

It was a fulfilling event !

(1/3) Our 30th Anniversary issue is online! To celebrate with the immunology community, we hosted an open call for cover submissions & were grateful to have received beautiful & creative submissions from across the world! The winning design featured on the cover of this anniversary issue was designed by Yun Hsuan Elena Lin, a Ph.D. candidate in the laboratory of Dr. John Chang at UCSD @elnlnx https://t.co/hZwuCUP0st
