@mp_hartmann Thank you!! Our global GRN suggests they function very early on, likely at the progenitor level. It would be interesting to test how perturbing them at that stage influences DC development.

Decades of research have revealed the intricacies of how dendritic cells (DCs) function, but fundamental questions remain about how this group of cells develops in humans and how this process goes awry in disease. A thread on our new work! (1/9)

🩸🧬 Dendritic cells are rare but key players in immunity. In a new preprint led by @CohnOfir, we generate a single-cell multi-omic atlas of human dendritic cell differentiation to reveal links to immune-mediated disease: https://t.co/4Q8pA0SykL

Huge thanks to my mentor @bloodgenes and to all involved in this study! @ALNeehus @lrbzldz @guo_chunjie @chenweng1991 @laila_b_norford

Together, this study defines a key and underappreciated role of human DCs in mediating the consequences of inherited genetic variation on a range of complex disorders. (9/9).

Happy to share our recent study investigating the transcriptional landscape of the host when antecedent influenza infection followed by secondary Streptococcus pneumonia infection.

We are very excited to share our new preprint now on #bioRxiv:
Distinct gene programs underpinning 'disease tolerance' and 'resistance' in influenza virus infection https://t.co/2fbQZ2ZjcX
