Scientific Frontline

In the immune system's fight against #cancer and #infections, the T cells often lose their power. The team of Würzburg #immunologist Martin Vaeth has found a possible explanation for this phenomenon.

I’m looking to hire a committed #bioinformatician and #immunologist with a passion for the T cell/HLA/epitope synapse. Perhaps you know someone Thanks for sharing! #Hiring #Basel #NYC #Boston

@smoke @Samperd Good point about how decipherable this article is for the average non-#immunologist out there. Perhaps we can get one to weigh in on whether the results are what I think I read. (#COVID #SARSCoV2 turns front-line immune cells into clot-making, massive-inflammation-causing cells without the capacity to respond to pathogens.)

Vigilance🎯

Here is a timely review article on #immunothrombosis from a superstar in this esoteric field, Harvard paediatric #immunologist Denisa Wagner.

@deeptabhattacha oh, this is very sad indeed. I had the opportunity to interact with him a bit when working in T1D and always thought he was a very interesting humble person. An excellent #scientist and #Immunologist .

question from a non-Salmonella #Immunologist - this paper focuses on systemic Salmonella; are similarly disturbed #immune / #stromal events occurring in gut/mesenteric LN) after oral Salmonella or does it vary according to virulence? @mucosal_immunology_ethz

An extended #introduction...

I was an #immunologist for 20+ years. I found out which protein from which #OralBacteria causes your teeth to fall out. And how it does it.

I have lots of records. Fave artists?

@freemo someone who knows more about this than me #gastroenterologist, #immunologist, #microbiologist could tell you whether a 'sterile' human could survive or even exist. How was the bubble boy fed? Did he receive intravenous nutrition?

Healthy humans carry 1.5 kg of a diverse selection of bacteria in their intestines (the microbiota), which have an important role in maintaining health. A healthy diet maintains a healthy gut microbiome, and we are only just beginning to understand the importance of these bacteria.

It is not only the gut that carries a commensal bacterial load, any body cavity linked to the external environment will carry a non-pathogenic community of bacteria, including the uterus. This means, we are likely to be exposed to placental bacteria in the womb. Once exposed in the womb I don't know how a human would be subsequently 'sterilised' of bacteria.

I stand to be corrected by those with the knowledge!

Do crazy illegal stuff I’d normally never dream of doing like crossing state borders to get #Novavax primary shots under an #pseudonym

spend rather insane amounts of hours #reading #science papers, following,nay stalking #immunologist #epidemiologist #aerosol & other #scientist to make sure I’m 100% correct so the maskless joie de vivre faces don’t #gaslight me into lowering my guard

I love #immunologist Dr. Mittelbrunn's advice to her younger self. <<try not to suffer so much >> It's encouraging to realize how almost universal that feeling is. Rejection is a regular part of #science and this advice is also good for older selves :awesome: Fascinating #Global #ImmunoTalk here: "#Tcells as drivers of senescence and aging" by Dr. Maria Mittelbrunn - YouTube

#Introduction #myfirsttoot. Hi everyone. I’m a #microbiologist and #immunologist @PennVet learning about the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens together with the amazing people in my lab. I love the #SciCom community that scientists, science writers, students & others in the science ecosystem built to support each other and communicate ideas in a timely way. Here to keep that going in case Space Karen blows up the other place.

#introduction I am an #immunologist at the #universityoftoronto. I study how our #mucosal immune system can influence our health, especially brain health. I love constructive discussions about science and how to make #academia a better place for everyone. I love #cooking, #gardening, #singing, #canoeing and learning from my 2 sons. Oh and my 3 @Cats too.

Time for a #introduction post for #ScienceMastodon ! I am an ecological and evolutionary #immunologist interested in understanding how symbiotic relationships shape immunity and vice versa. Most of the time I work with cnidarian systems (#corals ), but I also dabble some in fish.

I am a #newPI at Texas State University, which is a #HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution). I am passionate about creating equitable and inclusive research opportunities for our diverse academic community!

I am an #Immunologist, #Cell Biologist and/or #Developmental Biologist, working with #Mathematicians and #Physicists to understand how T cells develop, respond to infections and cancer, or become cancers themselves.
I also work to improve #equity in medical research.
I run a lab in #Melbourne, #Australia that works across the #PeterMac (Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre) and #Swinburne University.
