Happy to see our story on tolerance to inflammation antigens @NatImmunol nature.com/articles/s4159… It grew from a naive question I had at my first immunology class: if some self molecules are only induced by pathogen how does immune system distinguish them from foreign antigens?1/n

We studied the how much’s and the where’s of a key self-tolenergic molecule using #volumetric, #superres microscopy. A wonderful collaboration with @ThuyLuu,@PetterHoglund et al now in shiny print.

Researchers find that the spatial distribution of #SHP1 within mouse #NaturalKillerCells shifts during NK cell education by being sequestered away from activating immune synapses, hinting this mechanism may facilitate self-tolerance. @karolinskainst scim.ag/2eF

Impactful findings on how the mechanobiology of the nucleus affects levels of alveolar macrophages and associated vulnerability to their loss in aging and resp infection. Elegent mouse mechanistic insights with huge potential for translational insight👌🏾

And there was more very interesting work presented today 🔥😏 @docmezid from @karolinskainst presented a #preprint by @NicolasManelLab showing how nuclear rupture in alveolar macrophages triggers cellular ageing 👴👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Only a few days left to enjoy our book chapter for FREE: authors.elsevier.com/b/1bv6D6uaSNDm… We explore the regulation of #actin #cytoskeleton in immune cell biology in the context of actin related #PrimaryImmunodeficiencies.

We had a great time putting together this chapter on the different layers of actin filament regulation and the invaluable insights that inborn errors in these regulators provide on various aspects of immune cell biology. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Bleak 🌧 morning brightened up hearing @Agingfencer describe how the immune systems pursuit of lagom (just right) makes #tumorimmunology wonderfully complicated.

New paper out! Meet the new dye Pro12A! In collab. with @aklymchenko @Lab_Klymchenko , we redesigned Laurdan probe to make it plasma membrane specific and more sensitive to membrane order! Don't take my word, see Tweetorial for the data. @an_chem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
