A huge congrats to Tatlock Lauten who successfully defended his thesis today! He has been an amazing asset to lab and has uncovered some really cool translational findings regarding the brain-immune axis! @TAMU @TAMUmedicine @tamuresearch @TAMUGradSchool

I have a PhD in Free Radical and Radiation Biology from Iowa. Sad that the degree will no longer be offered and just rolled into "biomedical sciences". It is something that makes me unique and interesting to employers. Sad day.

New preprint alert!

We previously found that the nervous system leads to a specific form of inflammation from T-cells. In this new work, we translate this to autoimmune disease and show promise for this therapeutic approach!

Hemoglobin continues to pop up everywhere! Time to stop thinking it is simply a red blood cell protein. Our new review is out and authored by the amazing graduate student, Emily Reed, and an ambitious high school student, Jacob Kim! @TAMU @TAMUmedicine

@JacobAllenPhD @EricTopol @Nature @QuintanaLabHMS Agreed. Catecholamine signaling in immune cells is highly dynamic and context dependent. Sometimes anti-inflammatory and sometimes pro. No one size fits all mechanism, even if we wished it was 😃

[Adam J. Case, PhD @caseredoxlab]

This work is massively ongoing and we have a ton more data to share (very soon), but we wanted to get this exciting first work out! Stay tuned, as I think we have a lot more to learn about how T-lymphocytes are regulated, and this is just scratching the surface!

[Adam J. Case, PhD @caseredoxlab]

I bet you do not think about hemoglobin very much, other than that protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells, right? Well, we have identified that this protein is expressed in immune cells, particularly T-lymphocytes...

[Adam J. Case, PhD @caseredoxlab]

Not only is it expressed, but it appears to play a major role in regulating inflammation, mitochondrial function, and reactive oxygen species in these cells!

@TAMU @TAMUHealth @TAMUmedicine @tamuresearch

[Adam J. Case, PhD @caseredoxlab]

Accepted! Our new work suggests adrenergic signaling regulates T-lymphocyte pro- and anti-inflammation. Exciting translational projects in the work for PTSD and other inflammatory diseases! Stay tuned!

@RetractionWatch We literally pay publishers thousands of dollars to publish papers. Spelling errors are not on us, it's on them. Maybe they should dip into their profit margins a bit and hire/purchase some quality proofreaders.

HUGE Congrats to the newest PhD Candidate in the Case Lab... Tamara Natour! Kicked total butt on her prelims, and I am stoked to see how her incredibly translational project turns out!!! @TAMU @TAMUmedicine @TAMUHealth @TAMUGradSchool

[Adam J. Case, PhD @caseredoxlab]

We also want to thank @conn_pann_fun for his insight and use of his hemoglobin knock-out mice! His lab pioneered the discovery of hemoglobin as a nitric oxide regulator in the vasculature. Our work extends that amazing finding and shows the versatility of this ancient protein!

[Adam J. Case, PhD @caseredoxlab]

We are taught that hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen. While true, research has discovered hemoglobin in a host of other cells. In our new preprint, we describe the discovery of hemoglobin in T-lymphocytes...

This has been an amazing and challenging journey by the superstar graduate student in the lab Emily Reed. Discovering something new is never easy, but she has persevered through the rough parts like a true professional!
