Happy to collaborate on this study profiling the existence and development of cross-tissue #ILC1 in humans.

doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2022.

Key Takeaways:

-Human ILC1 are rare in healthy liver, but accumulate in cirrhotic livers.

-Unknown #LSEC-derived signals + #TGFβ1 + #il7 drive differentiation of ILC progenitors to ILC1.

-Human #NK cells do not differentiate to ILC1 under multiple conditions ex vivo.

-Human ILC1 make #il2 but functional relevance of this still unknown.

Decoupling #TGFβ1 with phospho-SMAD2 (S457) & phospho-SMAD3 (S423/425) in ascending #AorticAneurysm with #BicuspidAorticValve or #UnicuspidAorticValve

How about TGFβ2/3?

As a comparison, in #TricuspidAorticValve aorta, diameter and elastin break correlate well with increased TGFβ1 level or p-SMAD2/3 levels
