Visibility in Academia, like in the world, is not fixed; it is produced. This piece “What Cell Biology Reveals About Academia” is a reminder that everyone has the potential to be either seen or unseen.

Looking for motivated postdocs interested in doing exciting research at the intersection of immunology and regenerative biology. We use intravital two-photon imaging to track and manipulate immune cell behavior at the single-cell level in live animals mesa-lab.org Apply: apply.interfolio.com/180660
When Macrophages Disappear, Skin Blood Vessels Age!
Check out our new study @nature.com that uncovers how the loss of capillary-associated macrophages with age blocks vessel repair and blood flow, revealing a new cellular trigger of tissue aging. #Aging #Immunology

A few days late, but I’m happy to post our recent publication on body-to-brain signaling regulation of memory in Nature Aging:
The FEBS | EMBO Women in Science Award aims to highlight the major contributions made by female scientists to #LifeSciences research. Winners of the award are inspiring role models for future generations of #WomenInScience
Nominate a scientist by 15 May: www.embo.org/the-embo-com... 🧪
🔬 A new probe developed by Janelia researchers & collaborators that enables visualization of extracellular matrix structure in live tissues could also be useful in studying diseases linked to changes in the extracellular matrix and in diagnostic imaging ➡️ www.janelia.org/news/looking...

Really important piece to share widely. Too many Americans don’t know how severe a threat this Administration poses to our scientific infrastructure, global leadership, and health security
Very cool:
Interested in aging?
Super excited about this upcoming Keystone meeting!! 🧪🌲🌲
Aging: Immune Function and Organ Health -- Banff, Canada in 2026!!! ✨✨
Joint meeting with the Keystone Innate Immunity meeting!

How many cells do you need to establish PCP? The magic number is 3! Beautiful work by Lena Basta in Danelle Devenport's lab. Happy to have contributed. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Excited to share our revised manuscript! We adapted new live imaging tools to track the same tissue resident macrophages for months in aging mice. We found a macrophage population that contributes to vascular health in young skin, but is lost as we age...

@jraslab findings demonstrate that Langerhans cells exhibit context-specific changes in calcium activity and highlight the utility of skin as an accessible model for imaging calcium dynamics in tissue-resident macrophages.

This week in #Science #Immunology: Lukas Amann, Marco Prinz, & colleagues at @uni-freiburg.de report that #extrasinusoidal #macrophages in the #mouse #DuraMater represent a distinct subset of #CNS -associated macrophages whose role is shaped by #autoimmune #neuroinflammation! #neuroimmunology

One of the alluring and theoretical strategies for extending healthspan and longevity is to rejuvenate the thymus gland, promote an intact immune system. Now there's a way to do that in aged mice.
