On the cover, McCallum et al. depict a fluorescent micrograph showing a engineered biosensor strain in the mouse colon, illustrating how commensal bacteria can serve as in situ reporters of dynamic gut physiology.

Immunobiology of the serous cavities Local immune function and cross-tissue communication in the serous cavities are reviewed.

A new Review discusses the immune makeup within the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities, including changes that occur during conditions such as cancer and endometriosis.

On the balance of knowledge - Nature Reviews Immunology Ruslan Medzhitov shares his thoughts on the balance between generating data and developing theories in immunology, with a focus on exploring the rules that govern complex systems.

Too much data, too little thinking.
A important essay from Ruslan Medzhitov on the importance of understanding data, not just generating it. A must read.

13% success rates at #CIHR, is a really 87% fail rate for>4000 scientists. At a time when 🇨🇦 is investing millions to recruit more scientist into a broken funding environment. 🇨🇦, U need a strong science foundation 2 attract success. #CIHR, fix your science foundation, it is eroding in real time

Really sorry to hear that reviewers are abusing people with diseases. Hiding behind a screen does not take courage. It is cowardice. Bully tactics.

Sad commentary on the quality of reviewers. In person review panels hold reviewers accountable.
#CIHR being back in person review panels.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Sir Nicholas White @moru-mip.bsky.social

Over 100 years ago, platelets were observed to interact with neutrophils in blood clots

Eric Boilard & team now detail platelet-neutrophil interactions as more abundant in arthritic conditions, noting that neutrophils fail to migrate in the absence of platelets: doi.org/10.1172/JCI1...

In the strain on scientific publishing, we showed that total publications have grown out of control. A huge part of that was guest edited special issues by groups like #MDPI and #Frontiers.
