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 formationβespecially enucleation.

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:

π¨ New McSorley lab paper just out in Cell Reports!
Very happy to see this published - it has been a lot of work, and its turned into a really nice story.
In it, we show that HpARI+HpBARI can be used as vaccines

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...

Screen shot of a Google search confirming that the 2025 Spring equinox falls on 20th March at 9:01.
How about a tiny touch of good-fulness to counter the awfulness.
By both astronomical and meteorological measures, at 9:01 today it will be officially Spring.

We're based in the Ashworth Laboratories, King's Buildings, University of Edinburgh. Photo shows the main staircase in the entrance to the Ashworth, stone steps from the 1920s, decorated with a series of bright, colurful banners depicting the science that's tackled in the building.
I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.
