Hello Mastodon Science. My lab at Yale studies innate immune defense against respiratory viruses. Some of our recent work has focused on viral interference, a phenomenon in which one viral infection can temporarily protect from another. This article discusses the field, and is thought provoking in light of the current resurgence of multiple viruses. https://www.science.org/content/article/competition-between-respiratory-viruses-may-hold-tripledemic-winter#.Y3fz7XHT75Y.twitter

#IDMastodon #Eosinophils participate in the critical Th2 arm of immunological control of helminthic infections through Fc-receptor-mediated IgE approximation to worm tegument followed by degranulation. Most labs & literature define eosinophils as ⬆️ when they are bw 0.4-0.5 bil/L

I guess I should introduce myself #onhere: I am a postdoc in the Schier Lab at the Biozentrum (Switzerland). I am using #zebrafish to understand the #development of the nervous system. I love developmental biology of classic and non-canonical organisms, microscopy, loud music and comic books. Very much looking forward to meeting other scientists and cool people!
PS: I also help co-managing @ZebrafishRock , so make sure to give them a follow for the latest zebrafish community news

I've closed my Twitter account, leaving behind almost 11,000 followers in favor of the 210 I have here. This decision was tough to make, but it was principled. Elon Musk is trying hard to open the door for the DTs and MTGs of the world, and if they seize more control, he will have something to do with it. It's time to wound him, even if that means wounding Twitter first. I've had enough.

#Introduction

I’m a Post-doc at the University of Oxford, working on the evolution of bacterial genomes and pangenomes. I’m interested in bacterial cooperation and ecology, and how these might interact with horizontal gene transfer.

I’m on the train to Manchester for the #MicroEvo22 meeting, where I’ll be presenting a poster (no. 17). Looking forward to seeing lots of you there!

Recruitment in the https://plantpathmicro.ucr.edu/ department at #UCRiverside #UCR https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01655 "Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology in molecular bacterial plant pathogen interactions" #plantmicrobeinteractions #bacteriologist #faculty at #UCRiverside in #microbiology #plantpathology. Salary scales for UC Faculty are here but an negotiated "offscale" is added https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/2022-23/oct-2022-salary-scales/t1.pdf https://academicpersonnel.ucr.edu/compensation#academic_salary_scales_and_salary_rates

I’m a little late with an introduction post but we study #malaria transmission, particularly how changes in mammalian host #immunity and #metabolism control parasite transmission to and infection of the #mosquito host. We’re also interested in how malaria-induced activation of #basophils and #mast cells disrupts #intestinal barrier integrity. I’m passionate about #training that highlights the direct connections among #plant, #animal and #human health from the #cellular to the #ecosystem scales.

Do diverse microbial exposures inhibit type 2 immunity to allergens?

Recent paper from the Jameson lab suggests that co-housing SPF mice with pet store mice only temporarily inhibits ILC2 function.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-022-01350-8

The Coquet lab also has a preprint suggesting that high microbial content/diversity in mice does not inhibit allergic immune responses.

A simplified view of the hygiene hypothesis has not been supported by these approaches #Immunology

Hey there! I'm an Assistant Professor at #UCLA studying mouse and human #innateimmunity using #systemsimmunology and #crispr to find new targets for chronic viral infections, #T2D and #cancer. I mainly focus on #type1 immune responses including #NKcells #cDC1 and #ILC1. I started #earlycareerimmunology in 2021 to highlight underrepresented scientists early in their career. I'm here to post about #science, #art, #travel, #cat photos, and congratulate you on your wins 🥳🎉.
