NK cells are an important anti-cancer defense, but what happens if they turn into a different cell type?
A new study from @SebScheer@Dr_Nick_Bikes identified a gene without which NK cells turn into a weaker cell type, making them worse at fighting cancer.

Thrilled to announce the publication of our latest research in Nature Immunology. Joining forces with 20 laboratories in Europe and USA, we identified the three prominent NK cell subsets in human: NK1, NK2, and NK3: https://t.co/VMPTPpiLOV
In our review article, we now assess the current literature and highlight challenges and possibilities around the "conductor" DOT1L and its immunomodulatory functions, that may pave the way for innovative therapeutic approaches.

New publication from our lab 📣

We demonstrate that Histone methyltransferase, DOT1L, limits NK cell conversion to ILC1s, a subset that can be observed in tumors in response to TGF-β and is correlated with poor tumor control @HSudholz@SebScheer

@LIH_Luxembourg
Back home after a wonderful meeting of Functional Epigenomics in Saarbrücken. Going back to @LIH_Luxembourg with many new inspirations and the excitement that understanding and exploiting epigenetic mechanisms in immune cells will be key to solve many problems in the clinic.
Huntington and colleagues describe the functions of Ikaros and Aiolos in NK cell development. Read it here: https://t.co/s21mElZ0ji

Excited to have our paper out in @NatImmunol
IKAROS and AIOLOS directly regulate AP-1 transcriptional complexes and are essential for NK cell development

A @MonashBDI study has found that a protective immune feature may be lacking in people with chronic infections caused by parasitic worms, which can help lead to improved #treatments and human vaccines. @MonashCCS #globalhealth
