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
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

The ocean’s depth here goes up and down by like ten feet every day. PERSON 1: What? PERSON 2: It’s because the planet has a big moon orbiting near the surface. It causes weird gravity effects.

Just presented our story on #KupfferCells #liver & #microplastics togehter with @mariafviola.bsky.social in the basic science session @ #EASL2025 in #Amsterdam. Great format to promote ECRs and for fantastic discussions with scientists and clinicians!
What a start of the Immune Niches in Cancer and Inflammation #INCI25 conference @VIBTrainConf with spectacular talks from Gabriel Victora (B cells in GCs), Burkhard Ludewig (on the role of stromal cells as architects in LNs) and Hervé Fridman (on importance of TLS in cancer) 🤩🤩
Browsing through the literature as things calm down, thinking about posting now that the twittersphere has turned blue, I discover the next step change in chromatin analysis....an incredible data deluge!

Thanks, @lozanzi.bsky.social, for spreading the word!
What happens to monocytes when a human gets LPS induced activation? Fantastic talk from Simon Yona at the #EMDS2024 meeting in Vienna: tracking the fate of monocytes and DCs in healthy and inflamed humans! Blood and bone-marrow data in function of time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🤩🤩🤩 Fantastic talk of @profjudiallen.bsky.social this morning #EMDS2024 with super cool unpublished data and B cell Macrophage interactions during worm infections. We have so much to learn from in vivo macrophage activation in worm infections! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #macrophages #type2immunity
Wooow! The seminar room of the #EMDS2024 in Vienna is absolutely magnificent! Ready for mindblowing research!!!
