I’m happy to share our latest work on tumour necrosis! During my time in the @megeblad.bsky.social lab, we found that tumour necrosis is not a passive phenomenon secondary to tumour growth, but an active phenomenon driven by neutrophils and NETs! Thread below: (1/13)

#EpigeneticPower! 💥 #NewPaperAlert! We show @cp-immunity.bsky.social that endogenous oxidized lipids decide whether host survives or dies during #sepsis, #ARDS, or Staph infection! Ox lipids bind & inhibit #AKT, boosting inhibitory H3K27 methylation via EZH2 & blocking #IL10!

Paul Ettel, MD-PhD student in the lab has been awarded a prestigious Early Career Fellowship Grant from the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR). FSR will support Paul’s research on the role of neutrophils and arginine metabolism in granuloma formation in sarcoidosis. Congratulations!

This grant will support my research for the next two years to further investigate how cellular metabolism shape granuloma development.

Very happy to finally share the news that I am among this year's Early Career Fellowship Grant recipients by the Foundation of Sarcoidosis Research.

Amitava Sinha via the @preprintclub.bsky.social‬ wrote a nice Journal Club article on a preprint by from the Angelo lab @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social that describes spatial immunometabolic zonation in tuberculosis granulomas: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CHOP & @pennmedicine.bsky.social have delivered the first-ever personalized gene editing therapy for a patient with CPS1 deficiency, marking a major milestone in the application of CRISPR-based treatments.

What a great conference in Crete! Very happy to be among the travel award recipients! See you in two years :))

This is just great

🚨 Groundbreaking study reveals how hypoxia shapes immune cell organization in #Tuberculosis granulomas, promoting Mtb persistence. Targeting these metabolic niches could revolutionize TB treatment strategies. A technical tour de force and a major scientific advance!

great opportunity to discover new aspects of immunometabolism...

SFB Immunometabolism Austria is looking for PhD students and postdocs. Highly recommended to join the team! Happy to answer any questions.

1/n Some time ago my colleague, excellent cook, and friend Ivan told me: "Cacio e pepe is the recipe that I screw up more often. Let's make a project studying systematically the physics of that sauce".

Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint:

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

Great paper by @ejvillablanca.bsky.social on LXR gut repair and tumorigenesis

My (little) take on how metabolism regulates neutrophil development and functions and why it should be studied more. Happy if it is helpful to anyone interested!

Not personally, but a colleague does a lot of plasma metabolomics. Usually fasts 6h.
