Did you attend The European Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Society Conference in Edinburgh (EMDS2025: Scotland Edition) and think it was great?

Then be sure to come to #EMDS2026 in Amsterdam.

Let's continue to make EMDS the premier meeting of its kind in 🇪🇺. Full details are at www.emds2026.com

The sun has set on #EMDS2025 but be sure to complete the survey sent out last week. We need your feedback, good or bad, to ensure that future meetings reflect your priorities and address any concerns.

Really interesting talk from @chrysothemisbrown.bsky.social about ontogeny, transcriptional regulation and function of subsets of #ThetisCells, including their role in #Treg induction and oral #tolerance #EMDS2025

Fantastic talk and new data from @lukeanthonyoneill.bsky.social about #mitochondrial control of #inflammation by #itaconate and derivatives in multiple settings #EMDS2025

A massive thanks to all the #EMDS2025 speakers, delegates, sponsors & @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social staff for making @emds2025.bsky.social such a success.

We had a great time, we hope you did too and your travel home was smooth.

Here's to #EMDS2026 in Amsterdam @immunometlab.bsky.social

A cracking meal complete with piper & Ceilidh to round off the second day of #EMDS2025 in #Edinburgh

A fantastic talk from David Russell to end #EMDS2025 - about #macrophage subset responses to #Mycobaterium tuberculosis, and their re-programming to improve drug efficacy in vitro and in vivo

McEwan Hall, Edinburgh University

Heading home after a fabulous few days in Edinburgh @emds2025.bsky.social Excellent venue, amazing programme, thanks @bainlab.bsky.social @profandrewmac.bsky.social and Samanta Mariani #EMDS2025 #Macrophage #DCs ♥️

Final day of #EMDS2025 opens with a fantastic talk from Will Wood - beautiful imaging of #macrophage migration following wounding, using the tractability of #Drosophila in ingenious ways to identify key chemoattractants in this process

Another great talk from @immunobladder.bsky.social about #macrophage subsets in the #bladder, including in memory response to bacterial infection and key differences in males vs females #EMDS2025

Beautiful data from Franca Ronchese, all the way from @malaghan.bsky.social in New Zealand, about generation and function of subsets of skin #DendriticCells in #allergic responses #EMDS2025

Day 2 of #EMDS2025 starts with a beautiful talk about lung tissue resident #alveolar #macrophage identity and the influence of #IL-33 on this, by Stijn Verwaerde from BART Lambrecht’s lab.

Lovely talk from Samanta Mariani about embryonic #macrophages in hematopoiesis, in health and in malignancy #EMDS2025

When the PhD student gives a better talk than his promotors! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Spectacular talk from @StijnVerwaerde #EMDS2025 🤩🤩. Very cool collaboration with @bart_lambrecht team. Identification of regulatory circuits switching homeostatic regulons to type 2 inflammatory regulons in AMs

Another lovely talk, this time from David Munro, about the context dependent roles for #HIF1a in #microglia, including in stroke #EMDS2025

Interesting short talk from Anita Qualls about RORgt+ #APCs in oral tolerance and #Treg induction #EMDS2025

Really interesting talk by Barbara Schraml, showing how dietary cues at weaning can activate splenic #cDC1 to induce CTL-like effector CD8+ T cells #EMDS2025

A fascinating education in #LangerhansCell biology and function from Clare Bennett, as well as a closing advert for the 18th International #DendriticCell symposium in San Diego next year #EMDS2025 #DC2026

Lots of exciting new data from @esegura-lab.bsky.social revealing an important role for Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor #AhR in promotion of wound healing my #macrophages #EMDS2025

Had the wonderful opportunity to present our data on the effect of microplastics on macrophages at #EMDS2025 ! Such a beautiful venue 🤩 @masslab.bsky.social

Fascinating (and disturbing!) presentation about the impact of ingested microplastics on liver macrophages by @mariafviola.bsky.social #EMDS2025

Really interesting story from @gastrogrj.bsky.social - murine and human data showing that #activin signaling in intestinal #monocytes is key for epithelial barrier repair during intestinal #inflammation #EMDS2025

Lovely talk from Bill Agace about the regional diversity of #dendriticcells in human intestines, in health vs Crohn’s disease #EMDS2025

Beautiful discovery science from Catherine Robin about blood resident #macrophages - including some gorgeous imaging in #zebrafish #EMDS2025

A fantastic talk about liver monocytes and macrophages by
@martinguilliams.bsky.social kicks of #EMDS2025 - beautiful application of multiple cutting edge technologies to understand cel-cell interactions in tissues

#EMDS2025 begins! Looking forward to a few days of exciting science about all things #macrophage, #dendriticcells and #monocytes in beautiful Edinburgh

After a year of planning, we are ready.

Registration opens at 8am. Excited for 2.5days of great science and a bit of fun.

See you soon
