Alea jacta est re birdsite.
Let's figure out how to build a #CRISPR community here.
Finally set up a mastodon account thanks to @DavidBrueckner.
I love paper tweetorials (now mastorials?) and the pics of weird creatures (especially fish, insects, and deep sea creatures)!
Here's my account @MikiEbisuya.
About time for an #introduction. My research group at the Wellcome Centre for Human Genetics in Oxford uses #SingleCell techniques and Genome Architecture Mapping to study #epigenetics #Chromatin and #GenomeFolding in rare #NeurodevelopmentalDisorders.
I (He/Him) love to be outside #Hiking or #Cycling and I’m a big fan of #FlightFree travel. Interested in #Equity issues in STEM, trying to read and educate myself to be a better ally.
Toot at me with your #Andor theories!
Hi Mastodon, in my lab we use #stemcells and #organoids to find treatments for #mitochondria diseases.
Hi Mastodon community, here’s my #introduction I’m a #gastroenterology researcher at #UCL growing #IBD #organoids to investigate #inflammasome regulation and #autophagy
Intro post: I'm a physician-scientist in #Gastroenterology at #UniversityOfMichigan. My training is in #Epidemiology, #virology, and #InflammatoryBowelDisease. I study the gut #microbiome and host #immunity. As a #queer person in #medicine, I advocate for #LGBTQ health and #inclusive research.
For your trouble, here's a photo of some mucin.
#Introduction I am an immunologist and science communicator. My research encompasses a few fields so my interests pretty wide- infection, microbiome, pollution and immunology-technically I am a barrier immunologist. I also feel strongly science is something everyone should be able to access and understand the basics so that they can make informed decisions and make a difference to their lives and my public engagement work tries to embody that with a co-production approach throughout.
Hello👋 I’m a research fellow and psychiatrist at the University of Cambridge. I work on interactions between the immune system, brain and behaviour esp using #ImmunoGenetics approaches. Interested in #biomarker discovery in psychiatry. Looking forward to discussions on here! #genomics #immunopsychiatry #neuroscience #neuroimmunology #introduction
Hej there, our first mastodon post from #madrid !
Heading to Chile to give a talk at @asochin and @umayor!
In #Science (@sciencemagazine) this week, the Hanahan lab shows that the #RNA-binding protein #FMRP enables #tumors to evade being attacked by #CD8TCells. It does so by both suppressing #CCL17 & promoting #Tregs via #IL33 & #M2 #macrophages via #PROS1 & #ExtracellularVesicles!
My latest Clinical Pipeline column at #NatureMedicine is just out.
This was an interesting piece for me, to see what's going with drugs targeting #TGFbeta family molecules in a clinical setting, in this case an activin receptor 2a/IgG1 Fc domain fusion protein selectively mopping up ligands. The drug's been through trials in oncology, thalassemia & other conditions, but it looks like it had a good hit in pulmonary arterial #hypertension.

Hello! I am a PhD student in System Biology at #UdeM. I am passionate about science and in love with #immunology
Bachelor in Biology-Genetics #ufrj
Masters in Oncology #inca (Brazilian National Cancer Institute),
I've been working on onco-immunology for 10 years. I started by improving CAR-T cell design, and in the last five years, I focused on understanding the tumor immune microenvironment using #scrnaseq #bioinfo
Fat food for a day gives your intestine away… or something like that.
How the gut epithelium rapidly changes upon fatty diet. Withing 24 hours some cells in the intestine increased the activity of genes associated with stress and fat metabolism.
Very nice work from the Wells Lab:

"Here we show that individual Bmp ligands and Tgfβ drive distinct enterocytic programs specific to villus zonation. Bmp4 is expressed mainly from the center to the upper part of the villus, and it activates preferentially genes connected to lipid uptake and metabolism. In contrast, Bmp2 is produced by villus-tip mesenchymal cells, and it influences the adhesive properties of villus-tip epithelial cells and the expression of immunomodulators."
Hey everyone, I'm Prathyusha, a postdoc at Dana-Farber/Harvard Medical School. My PhD research was in #cancer #immunology and my current research interests are in #immunology and #genetics of #kidneycancer
I enjoy reading and painting as a hobby.
I mostly toot about science and occasionally you'll find random musings, food, and paintings (though life has been too busy lately to focus on the last).
Here to meet the fun #academic and #scientific community! #ScienceMastodon
Just getting set up on here. Looking forward to connecting with the #immunology #science mastodon community!
Nice study showing Candida albicans lipase suppressing host IL-17 responses & promotes invasive infection.
Caveats re model systems used, etc.. but interesting demonstration of pathogen evasion of protective host immune responses.
