🚨 Thrilled to share our new paper out in @ImmunityCP!!!

We uncover a surprising, previously unrecognised role for alveolar macrophages (AMs)—long viewed as the lung’s steady sentinels—during allergic type 2 inflammation.

Analysis of data from nearly 1.5 million Danish children suggests that infants hospitalized for #RSV infections have a significantly higher risk of developing asthma when one or both parents are also asthmatic. @bart_lambrecht @BosteelsCedric

Excited to share our new paper in @JExpMed ! 🎉
We reveal a key mechanism showing how tissue-resident memory CD8⁺ T cells (Trm) amplify antiviral protection during reinfection.

Incredible! Over the past 2 months, 5 independent manuscripts — from @TheColonnaLab, Dan Littman, @gardnerlabUCSF and @themis_brown, and our own (now in @Nature https://t.co/GS46XE91FG), reports that the dietary pTreg program is initiated by RORγt⁺ antigen-presenting cells. /1

Check out our latest work where we built a single cell perturbation atlas of niche cues in inflamed human intestinal organoids. We hope this resource will be of value in generating therapeutic hypotheses to guide diseased epithelium back to homeostasis. https://t.co/Rb7IP2o7un

Excited to share our study describing a role for a subset of Thetis cells, TC IV, in tolerance to food antigens. A team effort led by Vanja Cabric and @YollandaPariso1 🧵 1/ https://t.co/hkxJu2hxGI

A wave of IRF8-dependent Thetis cells impart tolerance to food antigens early in life. Congratulations on the excellent paper! @themis_brown @ScienceMagazine

I’d also like to thank @QIMRB_Institute @UQscience @ASImmunology @Mucosal_ASI @MucosalImmunol for all the support along the way! 🙏

[Daniel Ryan Howard @danielhoward__]

Had a wonderful and inspiring three week visit to @themis_brown’s lab at @MSKCancerCenter in NYC learning #scRNAseq analysis of our latest #DC dataset and #TC biology. Many thanks to @socmucimm for the Technique-sharing #grant and @SimonPhipps14 for making the trip possible! 🎉🗽

[Daniel Ryan Howard @danielhoward__]

Now off to #DC2024 in Sitges ☀️, Spain, to explore all the fascinating new DC publications, talks and poster sessions! ✈️
