.@iancohn @striepenlab @KingOfPathogens et al. show that intestinal cDC1s have distinct roles in shaping CD4+ T cell responses to #Cryptosporidium. https://t.co/W6HX61RgWZ

Kevin Wood was a wonderful human being and he is gone way to soon, like a shooting star.

I will miss him.

Delighted to have my image on the cover of @mbiojournal Isn't the #intestine pretty?!

Want to see more? Check out our publication that goes with it! @striepenlab @KingOfPathogens https://t.co/HzNDZHRGnj

Hey @jkagan1 who likes cytokines and mRNA vaccines? @emilyaunins @anthonyphan with @MgAlameh @dachri0 @KedlRoss @WeissmanLab explore how IL-12 mRNA can be used to diversify and improve mRNA vaccine induced CD8 T cell responses - takes a village https://t.co/aNIXvqLt3u

Check out our new paper for a window into Cryptosporidium's life in the gut #cryptosporidium #intestine #MicroscopyMonday

Read our new paper: Cryptosporidium impacts epithelial turnover and is resistant to induced death of the host cell by @BethanWallbank out today in @mbiojournal. Great team effort with @RyanPardy2 @KingOfPathogens @BrodskyIgor https://t.co/IPueHfD54G Infected = not apoptotic:

New record for the lab (and not a good one). Revision of latest manuscript contains 79 new figure panels to address reviewers’ questions. To quote Hidde Ploegh: End the tyranny of reviewer experiments!

[ChrisHunter @KingOfPathogens]

In its 184 year history @JExpMed has not published a manuscript on Cryptosporidium. Today, an injustice righted with @iancohn and @striepenlab using transgenic parasites to understand how cDC1s regulate T cell–mediated resistance to Cryptosporidium https://t.co/xq1yPol0Pk

[Will Bailis @metaBailism]

Why do activated T/B cells wait to divide? Why is there heterogeneity in their daughter cell responses? How do we find peace in these troubled times? Check the Bailis Lab’s FIRST PAPER (🎉) for insight into 2 of these 3 questions! https://t.co/QCYpwvLLRU

⚡️New preprint out! #Immunology #biophysics
1/ We show hidden functional immune cell states based on collective membrane properties, which are not directly visible via cell surface markers.

@LeventalLab Won and covered. Haha.

@LabRaghavan @bmentamu @SabrinaVH_ @RicGottardi She did a great job!

[ChrisHunter @KingOfPathogens]

Who likes enteric pathogens and the DC and CD4 T cells that control them? @iancohn and @striepenlab find a role for DC1 in supporting CD4 responses to Crypto. Terrific use of transgenic parasites to track priming, effector responses and parasite control. https://t.co/47rY6JfQtH

@JustinPerryPhD @KingOfPathogens @elsanchez09 Can confirm it was stolen from David Artis’s lab.
