Let’s reject budget cuts in education and research! We, researchers, students, and members of the administrative and technical staff of the University of Lausanne (UNIL), firmly oppose the budget cuts announced for UNIL by the government of Vaud on 24t...

Dear friends at the University of Lausanne - please consider signing this petition

This is to say NO to the funding cut of 24 million CHF that will negatively impact the quality of our teaching & research 🧪🧑🏼‍🎓 - and have a knock-on effect on the local economy

All students, staff, faculty can sign ⏬

Wishing our amazing postdoc @lbejarano.bsky.social continued success and happiness - as she leaves us to start her own lab in Spain 🎉🥳

Leire has been one of the most positive, creative, and kind scientists I've had the privilege to mentor - we shall all miss you so much!

How does the #vasculature regulate #immune cell infiltration & function across different brain tumors? 🧠🧪

Excited to share our latest study in #Immunity where we uncover some interesting answers— led by the amazing @lbejarano.bsky.social 🤩👏🏻

Cancer cells ‘poison’ the immune system with tainted mitochondria Immune cells lose their cancer-fighting prowess after taking tumours’ organelles on board.

Really interesting paper 🧪 🤩

Immune evasion through mitochondrial transfer 😮

Ikeda et al find that #mitochondria from cancer cells can #transfer over to T cells - altering their #metabolism & reducing antitumour immunity

Grateful for this incredible, fun team - and a great year of science together 🤩🙏

Happy holidays!! 🌟🥂❄️🎉

CD226+ adipose tissue macrophages arise from MDP-derived monocytes and regulate lipid metabolism. Macrophages are innate immune cells present in all tissues, in which they participate in immune responses and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. They develop either from embryonic precursors or from c...

Happy to share the last preprint from the Ivanov lab with CD226+ macrophage subset conserved across several tissues and especially fat, in which they regulate lipid metabolism. They exhibit a rapid turnover from monocytes, and in particular MDP-derived monocytes !
