Iron and the immune system - Nature Reviews Immunology Iron is crucial for cellular metabolism, but its availability varies greatly within and between individuals and populations. This Review highlights how iron regulates innate and adaptive cellular and ...

Excited to share our new study, the paper is out today @cp-immunity.bsky.social! Not all Treg cells are the same. We identified two Treg cell subsets with opposing functions in colorectal cancer (CRC). 1/8

Friends, it's fun to see the #immunology community continue to grow! I created a 4th Starter Pack to help folks find each other. If you're an immunologist and you don't see yourself on the lists, let me know 🧪

I’ve made a Starter Pack of #innateimmunity and #inflammation researchers to follow! Please contact me to get added or to suggest others to add. We are just getting started 😎

I made a starter pack for those of us interested in or working on T cells. Let me know if you would like to be added or know somebody that should be added.

Looking forward to scientific discussions and updates on our favorite immune cell type!

Reminder for newcomers that bioRxiv has Bluesky accounts in every subject category - great way to keep up (please re-skeet) connect.biorxiv.org/news/2023/09...

Amazing congrats!! 👏🏻🥳

I am really enjoying the surge of people to bluesky but still kind of missing the VERY early career group of people! (Aging in academia is a funny thing) - I went ahead and made this starter pack go.bsky.app/Jq8YaQM - if you would like to be removed/added please let me know

Would love to be added too :)

Extensive binding of uncharacterized human transcription factors to genomic dark matter Most of the human genome is thought to be non-functional, and includes large segments often referred to as "dark matter" DNA. The genome also encodes hundreds of putative and poorly characterized tran...

Incredible resource for DNA binding protein specificity from the Codebook consortium.

Am reading these in detail & will have a lot to say. Stay tuned for thoughts.

Waves of new BlueSky arrivals in last few days!

I’ve been tracking starter packs relevant to molecular/mechanistic/genetic/cellular…etc biology

Hope it’s helpful but warning: now a v long thread!

Probably the last time I can do this...

Early emergence of T central memory precursors programs clonal dominance during chronic viral infection - Nature Immunology T cell memory formation is often described as occurring during the chronic phases of infection. Buchholz and colleagues use the phenomenon of ‘memory inflation’ following cytomegalovirus infection to ...

To populate my Bluesky and people know what I do: I am an MD turned immunology "basic" researcher. In the past I did adoptive T cell therapy and then fate mapping in the Buchholz lab in Munich:

Hi Steve! The easiest way to build a relevant following is to get added to a starter pack. For Immunology you want this one set up by @rodrahimi.bsky.social. Not sure if this list is already full? go.bsky.app/PY5tCas

First post on Bluesky.

NEW PREPRINT from our lab. It is a first-in-humans study that is very close to my heart. "Quality of vaccination-induced T cell responses is conveyed by polyclonality and high, but not maximum, antigen receptor avidity." www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
