New: Amir Ferry, Ananda Goldrath and colleagues @ucsdhealthsci.bsky.social show that differentiation of tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) is accompanied by the upregulation of the conventional DC1 (cDC1) chemoattractant, Xcl1. https://buff.ly/4hrKCYe

Good to see moscot-tools.org published in @nature.com ! We made existing Optimal Transport (OT) applications in single-cell genomics scalable and multimodal, added a novel spatiotemporal trajectory inference method and found exciting new biology in the pancreas! tinyurl.com/33zuwsep
Mapping cells through time and space with moscot - Nature
Moscot is an optimal transport approach that overcomes current limitations of similar methods to enable multimodal, scalable and consistent single-cell analyses of datasets across spatial and temporal...

How do T cells find the proper instructions to navigate tissues? In the Goldrath Lab @ucsdhealthsci.bsky.social, Amir Ferry mapped it out play-by-play. Potentiating these interactions strengthens the immunity cycle and enhances tumor control 1/n

It turns out the immune system is playing 4D chess while we thought it was just playing checkers. Using #spatialtranscriptomics from @10xgenomics.bsky.social and @vizgen.bsky.social we were able to peek into the secret lives of tissue resident T cells in the gut as they form after infection 1/n
