Ebony and Ivory - when you cannot get one anymore, you will also loose the other. A certain Steinway family should be worried (or maybe they are to be blamed?). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Declines of ebony and ivory are inextricably linked in an African rainforest
Loss of critically endangered forest elephants reduce the regeneration of a threatened species of ebony tree.

New work from the talented PhD student #RomainGailleton in the @angelettilab.bsky.social shows that the initiation of immune responses in nasal tissues is not restricted to GALT. Glad to have been part of it.

Our latest study by PhD student #RomainGailleton shows that upon #influenza infection, #Bcell can respond rapidly by forming ectopic #GerminalCenter within the nasal tissue.
The work has just been published in @pnas.org (1/N)

Nature in 1925 - and so much more needed today than then.
