NK cells in healthy aging show increased ⍺4β7 & decreased CCR7, which is reversed in people living with HIV possibly due to recruitment to HIV lymphoid reservoirs or failed mucosal signaling @ReevesLabNK @KyleKroll

Has anyone else started using Git to track manuscript changes? I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier but a private repo is perfect for keeping a change history

[Kyle Kroll @KyleKroll]

My lab is actively expanding. If you have an interest in NHP models of HIV and other viral infections I encourage you to check out the listing. Our lab space is brand new and we are ramping up our studies

[Reeves & Jost Lab @ReevesLabNK]

The Reeves Lab, now of the Division of Innate and Comparative Immunology at Duke University, has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow. If you are a recent PhD with a passion for immunology and experience in flow cytometry, please see our job listing here https://t.co/Ro0200NBZ6

[Reeves & Jost Lab @ReevesLabNK]

The Reeves Lab is also looking for a Lab Research Analyst II / Immunology Lab Manager. If you have experience operating highly technical laboratory instruments and wish to conduct original immunology experiments, please see our job listing here.

@PaoloDiTommaso Wow this is great! Thanks so much!

[Kyle Kroll @KyleKroll]

Does anyone in the #bioinformatics area have recommended readings for getting started with things like Snakemake, Nextflow, Docker, etc.?

[Kyle Kroll @KyleKroll]

Final round of experiments done. Now to see if PI thinks it's enough to submit a grant

[Science in Boston @ScienceinBoston]

Rhianna Jones and Dr. Cordelia Manickam in Dr. Keith Reeves' lab (@ReevesLabNK) analyzed the #granulocyte compartment in mucosal and lymphoid tissues of #lentivirus-infected macaques. This gave them insight into immune modulation and viral replication.

Moderna results are out for their booster vaccines!
🔵 Boosting with same vaccine generates good antibodies against variant B.1.351
🔵 Boosting with a B.1.351 vaccine generates even better antibodies
🔵 Safe
🔵 The booster vaccine was made and tested with exceptional speed!

@neubadah Pretty much that but I actually like to do methods first since it's usually easy and helps me get into writing mode

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Они обалдели!

The Sputnik V vaccine Ad5 vector is evidently replication competent. The makers apparently neglected to delete E1, so getting this vaccine means being infected with live adenovirus 5.

Hence Brazil’s regulator correctly rejected it.

We show NK cell education matters. For reproduction. Star receptor is good old CD94:NKG2A

[Waggoner Lab @LabWaggoner]

CD94/NKG2A receptor educates maternal NK cells to orchestrate vascular changes leading to normal fetal brain development and, in humans, to lower risk of complicated pregnancy. @DrFran_Colucci

fun little side project I am working on. I run our lab's website and one task is querying PMC for new publications so that they can be added to our website. Working on converting these scripts to a tidy UI so that others can use it as well. Running in Python + PyQt5

[Kyle Kroll @KyleKroll]

@ScientistTess Where can I buy these 👀

[Rossjohn lab @RossjohnLab]

New NK cell KIR paper from the lab, in collaboration with Andrew Brooks and Julian Vivian. @MonashBDI @MoradiShoeib

It's true and one of the reasons I don't actively use LinkedIn. I keep my profile updated and check job postings occasionally but that's about it.

[Vega Shah @dr_alphalyrae]

@mightdropout Yeup. And LinkedIn is seriously 80% of this -

[Kyle Kroll @KyleKroll]

@CapitiniMD @LabWaggoner @matoseviclab This looks interesting! Is there a paper or other resource to read more about this technique? Thanks!
