I am extremely proud to share our latest work on single-NK cell fate mapping published today in @ImmunityCP. When mapping the fate of individual NK cells in viral infection we were flabbergasted to find that there appeared to be two types of responses...🧵

I am so happy to learn that Susan @DrSusanLK is on this commission ❤️ very deserved, I look forward to seeing the results 🔥

[PSC/CUNY @PSC_CUNY]

Thrilled to see PSC Executive Council member @DrSusanLK appointed by @NYCMayor to the Commission on Government Efficiency. Dr. Kang’s decades-long impact on helping to lead political reforms in New York and her academic credentials make her an excellent choice for COGE.

Our latest paper is now online @JImmunol! Congratulations to Roy Morgan and the rest of the team! Development and function of specified thymic iNKT1 cells critically depend on an Ets1-Tbet transcription factor axis https://t.co/fYTgL01ZyW

[Nick Adams @NickAdams_PhD]

Excited to announce the opening of the Adams Lab in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the @UofR Medical Center. Job posting for postdoc and/or computational biologist positions coming soon – reach out if you are interested in joining our team!

Excited to share our new paper! Huge thank you to my amazing mentor Andrea @SchietingerLab and our co-authors for the guidance and support along the way! https://t.co/VDmoZnqwgO

Very happy to share the final chapter of my postdoc work with Boris Reizis @nyugrossman @UChicago published today in @ScienceMagazine! We identify and define the role of transcription factor ETV3 in the tolerogenic function of dendritic cells (DCs). 1/

[Nick Adams @NickAdams_PhD]

Why are pDCs so good at producing type I interferons? We set out to address this long unanswered question in our recent @ImmunityCP study. Again a great collaboration between the Reizis Lab @nyugrossman @UChicago and @agalitzina @leonidmirny @MIT

NFIL3 resides at the apex - as far as I know, at least - of a transcription factor hierarchy that initiates innate lymphoid specification.

[Nick Adams @NickAdams_PhD]

Excited to share our work published yesterday (and featured on the cover!) of @SciImmunology. This was a true team effort between the Reizis lab at @nyugrossman @UChicago and @agalitzina @leonidmirny at @MIT

@stylianos_k @Sarah_pdx @overallsthinker @aaronnarraph @saint_morg how do reg. people who are not obsessed with politics know how to distinguish between the 2? They say the same things, both are „democrats“. 1-2-3-4 offered a solution, by establishing a clear „sub-brand“, but was voted down. (Z spoke pro 1-2-3-4 and did these parts actually 😉)

I didn't expect to be so sad learning that my favorite philosopher, Alasdair MacIntyre, has passed 💔. I hope I can explore lessons from his philosophy for STEM research more in the future, I made a first attempt in this book chapter:

I am over the moon to finally share my Ph.D. research with the world!🤩🤩🤩
We used a new Il21r-flox mouse model to decipher the B-cell-intrinsic role of IL-21 signaling.

[Colin Sparano @csparano93]

Excited to share our new paper in @JExpMed 🎉 We show that NK cells use autocrine TGF-β1 signalling to establish tissue residency, form a highly cytotoxic subset, and protect the tissue against viral persistence. https://t.co/EkLtWAPWZo

[Simon Grassmann 草人 (learning Mandarin ;)) @SimonGrassmann]

You should read Anna-Marie’s beautiful paper on PGE2 signaling in NK cells!

[Jan Böttcher @JBoettcherLab]

Excited to share that our story on PGE2-mediated control of NK cell metastasis surveillance in lung tissue is now published in @CellReports
🤝 Thanks to the many great colleagues who helped conduct this study!
👏Congratulations to first author @AMPedde!

Moving to where the grass is greener and the sky is blue-er.. Hope others follow, especially @LabWaggoner 😂🤣

There are solutions, like the Fair Representation Act which would establish a multiparty democracy without the need for a constitutional change. People should push for real democracy, not accept the choices they clearly are not satisfied with.

A difficult night. But one of my takeaways from the election is once again: why do Americans put up with this electoral system? A system that gives only a few states all the power to elect the president and that restricts everyone’s choice to only two parties.

[Yi Ding @Yi_Ding_2023]

My recent study, just published at Nature Immunology, about the relationship between functional and developmental heterogeneity of NK cells. Great thanks, everyone in Bhandoola Lab! @Bhandoola_Lab . Great thanks, my collaborators! @SimonGrassmann @SunLab_Official @BelkaidLab

[Simon Grassmann 草人 (learning Mandarin ;)) @SimonGrassmann]

Also, check out Yi's amazing paper about NK developmental pathways!

[Nature Immunology @NatImmunol]

Bhandoola and colleagues describe the existence of two developmental pathways that give rise to functionally distinct NK cell subsets. Read it here: https://t.co/seVYU7nx0t
