Trout granulomatous virus (TGV) infection is associated with disruption of gill morphology, endothelial damage, and local gill immune responses in rainbow trout - PubMed Trout Granulomatous Virus (TGV) is an emerging viral pathogen associated with chronic infections in adult farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). TGV infection was first described to be associated...

How do chronic viral infections shape gill immunity in fish? Here are out findings led by PhD student in the lab, Ximena Amortegui using naturally infected trout with an emerging pathogen pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41819394/

Excited to share our latest work on trout vaccine and the super cool findings that PhD student in the lab,.Ali, found, especially regarding ontogeny of the mucosal immune system www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Wow, great news: the CDC has a study proving COVID vaccines slashed hospitalizations by 55%. Bad news: RFK Jr.’s team killed it before publication because facts were inconvenient. They are literally hiding data that could save your life.

congratulations, i can't wait to read what you found!

Rhinovirus triggers distinct host responses through differential engagement of epithelial innate immune signaling Rhinoviruses are the most frequent cause of common colds and also a major cause of respiratory distress in high-risk groups. Using single-cell sequencing of rhinovirus-infected nasal epithelial organo...

Rhinoviruses cause common cold & asthma attacks but are also often benign. Using nasal organoids, we learned how the community of cells in the lining the nasal passages coordinates to respond to rhinovirus and which responses lead to excess mucus & inflammation. www.cell.com/cell-press-b...

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Fred Hutch is dedicated to the elimination of cancer and related diseases as causes of human suffering and death.

My awesome Drosophila colleague Akhila Rajan at Fred Hutch (Seattle) is recruiting both a staff scientist and a postdoc to study fat–brain communication, innate immunity, mitochondrial signaling, and brain senescence. Great team, great environment. Apply here: careers-fhcrc.icims.com/jobs/30062/j...

Neuroanatomical profiling of the rainbow trout brain parenchyma and meninges reveals specialized immune niches and region-specific hubs for bacterial immune surveillance Several studies have described immune responses in the teleost brain and meninges during infection, however, fundamental studies that systematically d…

There is no replacement (yet) for animal models in medical research The NIH is “reducing animal use in research.” But there is no replacement for animal models.

Please DO NOT USE AI to make this kind of terrible "diagrams" (whatever this is) to showcase our work. What are the pink and purple things? And what is "secrentry"? Trying to contact Scienmag.com
@science.org but there is not name written in this article. scienmag.com/secretory-ig...

Thank you, Igor!!

Secretory IgM regulates gut microbiota homeostasis and metabolism - Nature Microbiology Rainbow trout with depleted secretory IgM reveal interesting insights into the elusive role of this immunoglobulin in maintaining gut microbiota.

Our latest paper is now out. A long standing collaboration with the Sunyer lab where our teams show the requirement for secretory IgM in the gut mucosa to control microbiota homeostasis and metabolism. Enjoy! #sIgM #mucosalimmunology www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Magnifique!

Chemist sorry

Looking for a collaboration with an organic chemistry who could synthesize a compound for one of our projects! Thanks

Just finished baking 5 sourdoughs for my kid's school teachers to thank them for all the wonderful job they do every day. They turned out very pretty loaves 😍

Oh man, I am so jealous! I had just booked tickets for fam holiday so I will have to miss it. Keep me posted if anything similar pops up again next year please!
