Dynamic fibroblast–immune interactions shape recovery after brain injury - Nature
Spatial transcriptomic studies and lineage tracing reveal that, after brain injury, transient profibrotic fibroblasts develop from existing brain fibroblasts, infiltrate lesions, regulate the local im...

We're now appreciating how the immune and nervous systems communicate across body & brain, and there's still more to explore!

Had a fun time co-writing this with some amazing immunologists and neuroscientists @nickmroz.bsky.social @arimolofskylab.bsky.social @annamolofskylab.bsky.social 😎🧠
Cross-regulation between the nervous system and type 2 immunity
The nervous and type 2 immune systems regulate each other via cytokines and neurotransmitters, suggesting previously unidentified therapeutic avenues.

There is remarkable extent of bi-directional cross-talk between the nervous system and Type 2 immunity (vs infectious parasites, allergens, irritants, and toxins). A new and superb review @sciimmunology.bsky.social

Ever wondered how gut microbes control immune responses at extra-intestinal locations?
Here #theonlylabever reports how a gut protozoan commensal shapes pulmonary immunity to exacerbate asthma and limit the dissemination of mycobacteria.

Excited to share another new paper from my PhD era, led by the amazing soon-to-be PI (and currently social media-free) Kyle Burrows 🥳👏

Congratulations Kyle on this cool story about how gut microbes impact lung immunity 🫁!

Hi all, so nice to cross over to the light. Here is a starter pack for all things Mucosal Immunology! Exciting to create a MI community here. Let me know if you would like to join 👍

I am really enjoying the surge of people to bluesky but still kind of missing the VERY early career group of people! (Aging in academia is a funny thing) - I went ahead and made this starter pack go.bsky.app/Jq8YaQM - if you would like to be removed/added please let me know

Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network

Below are the links

If you're an immunologist and I have missed you so far, let me know 🧪

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here.

The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added
