Súper excited to present my PhD work and meeting the amazing community of the @iuis-online.bsky.social @iuisjuniorcomm.bsky.social. Greatfull of sharing @openboxscience.bsky.social Initiative with the community! Step by step we can make science accesible to everyone in the world!

Next thursday join us for this great discussion!

I am BEYOND excited to share that my PhD thesis research is officially published in Cell @cellcellpress.bsky.social.

Read on for an exciting story about how #exercise promotes antitumor #immunity by modulating behavior of the #microbiome to help fight #cancer 🏃‍♀️🦠

I'm excited about a new @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social story that just went live! This one takes a #computational #immunology approach to understanding #tissueresident lymphocytes. The story highlights the extra value mathematical modelling can bring to biology. 🧵1/10

Other groups have shown that a fraction of intratumoral Tregs are actually pTregs, derived from the conversion of Th1 cells into pTregs mediated by TGF-β. A lot of research needed to solve the contribution of TGFb on nTreg vs pTreg in tumor promotion. rupress.org/jem/article/...

Using an elegant approach, it was demonstrated that a big majority of intratumoral Treg nTreg instead of pTreg. This is critical, as we normally think that TGF-b coming from the TME is promoting local Treg differentiation!🧐
