BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

Interferon-sensitized hematopoietic progenitors dynamically alter organismal immunity Abstract. Inflammation has enduring impacts on organismal immunity. However, the precise mechanisms by which tissue-restricted inflammation conditions syst

It was amazing working on this with my role model @drshrutinaik.bsky.social

A lot is known about how #obesity influences the #AdiposeTissue. But what happens during weight loss and weight fluctuation is far less known.

Russ Vought wasn't lying when he said he wanted to inflict "trauma" on our public servants.

This is what he is doing...with RFK Jr.'s permission at HHS. Last night, they destroyed our nation's ability to track and report emerging diseases/potential pandemics, among other things.

This cannot stand.

So what are the bottom lines?

First, a HUGE thank you to NIH staff (particularly grants management specialists but program officers and others as well) for getting this work done in a compressed period with many other stressors.

ICYMI: How diet affects atherosclerosis in obesity…

@aweinstock.bsky.social & team show short-term caloric restriction resolves atherosclerosis inflammation in obese mice, but weight regain accelerates its adverse effects: buff.ly/ieqwQ3O

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?

Beautiful highlight of 10 brilliant scientists that talk about their journey to independent research careers. Shoutout to @aweinstock.bsky.social and Anushka! #WomeninSTEM

Agreed 💯

You're welcome 😂😂😂

Thank you @jem.org for the invite to participate in this Viewpoint alongside such inspiring scientists 🤩🤩

So happy to see the final version of our paper out today @jclinical-invest.bsky.social 🤗

You're on fire 🔥🔥🔥!

Epigenetic silencing of interleukin-10 by host-derived oxidized phospholipids supports a lethal inflammatory response to infections Phagocytes initiate immunity to invading microorganisms by detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns via pattern recognition receptors. Pathoge…

💥 #ImmunometabolismPower! Excited to have this officially out @cp-immunity.bsky.social 💥 We show that pathogens induce the host to produce oxidized lipids which rewire the #metabolism of #macrophages, causing #epigenetic modifications which dampen anti-inflammatory IL-10, exacerbating #inflammation!
