Our newest preprint is out now! Great work by Dr Robin Bartolini on how "Macrophages drive inguinal fat pad and lymph node remodelling in response to peripheral inflammation." www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Macrophages drive inguinal fat pad and lymph node remodelling in response to peripheral inflammation.

Adaptive immune responses are intensely energy-dependent and rely on a local source of fuel-producing molecules which have been proposed to be derived from fat pads in which mammalian lymph nodes are ...

It’s been such a pleasure working as part of @crgglasgow.bsky.social
So many amazing colleagues, collaborators and friends over the years, thanks everyone!
And how to better prepare for my next adventure as Wales Applied Virology Unit (WAVU) lecturer than with this amazing present from them.

Not all chemokine signaling is about cell migration!

In mouse erythroblasts, CXCL12-bound CXCR4 enters the nucleus to control gene transcription, trigger calcium bursts, and drive red blood cell formation—especially enucleation.

New paper alert! Excited to share our latest work on the importance of inflammatory #chemokine receptors (iCCR, aka the best chemokine receptors) in mounting an optimal T cell response to #influenza infection.

Please share, happy to discuss!

Inflammatory chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR2, CCR3 and CCR5 are essential for an optimal T cell response to influenza, in this work from @mariekedoesscience.bsky.social and colleagues at @crgglasgow.bsky.social:

So excited to share our first neuro focused paper from the lab, we show that CXCL4 (PF4) is transported into the brain by proteoglycans within the endothelial glycocalyx and that GAG binding also mediates the pro neurogenesis effects of CXCL4. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Some nice new reserach from @mariekedoesscience.bsky.social and @crgglasgow.bsky.social studying the inflammatory CCR locus and immune responses to influenza. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Inflammatory chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR2, CCR3 and CCR5 are essential for an optimal T cell response to influenza.

Inflammatory chemokine receptors CCR1/2/3/5 (iCCRs) play an important role in the recruitment of immune cells involved in innate immune functions and orchestrating the adaptive immune response. Here w...

Share all your papers!!! Give descriptions so people will engage. Scientists should not rely on pubmed and talks alone to share their information.

Bluesky @bsky.app · Dec 3

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Altmetric @altmetric.com · Dec 3

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

Our 1st BlueSky post and it's our lab's newest preprint! Please read and share and let us know any of your thoughts 😊 #chemokine #immunosky

Gill Wilson @gillwilson00.bsky.social · Nov 27

Our new preprint is here! We show eosinophils are retained in the bone marrow by everyone’s (our😊) favourite atypical #chemokine receptor ACKR2.
#Eosinophil education of #monocytes promotes differentiation to #macrophages and bacterial elimination during E.coli #infection. Please read and share.

Eosinophils promote monocyte to macrophage differentiation and anti-bacterial immunity

Chemokine receptors control cell migration within the body. Here we reveal a novel interaction between eosinophils and monocytes in the bone marrow, indirectly controlled by the atypical chemokine rec...
