Felicidades Daniela! Me inspiró mucho siempre tu tweet donde descrbías que al regresar a México ibas "fade into mediocrity". Y todo lo contrario, tu trabajo y ciencia hablan por ti. Eres en verdad un modelo a seguir para los científicos en formación! Por muchos logros mas

Ancestry and somatic profile indicate acral melanoma origin and prognosis - Nature Analysis of the somatic and transcriptomic profile of 123 acral melanoma samples from Mexican patients helps understand tumour origins and prognosis, and highlights the importance of including samples...

We are very happy to see our study finally appear online @nature.com! This has been work of nearly 10 years in collaboration with the National Institute of Genome Medicine 🇲🇽, the National Cancer Institute 🇲🇽, the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social and others ⬇️

Tumour-brain crosstalk restrains cancer immunity via a sensory-sympathetic axis KrasLSL−G12D/+; p53fl/fl (KP) mice have been described previously55. KP mice were crossed with Rosa26LSL−tdTomato mice to generate KP; LSL-tdTomato mice.

Amazing work! Congratulations

Very happy to share our new study defining the ontogeny of Thetis cells and the developmental cues that shape their early-life wave of differentiation. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Beautiful work led by @hhmi-science.bsky.social Gilliam Fellow Yoselin Paucar Iza and postdoc Tyler Park 1/

Some of your cells are not genetically yours — what can they tell us about life and death? A tiny population of cells that are passed across the placenta between mother and baby challenge basic tenets of human immunology.

🔥 We’re starting the year strong with Treg Immunology! 🔥

Congratulations to Drs. Jose Villadangos and Hamish McWilliam's (@hay-mish.bsky.social) labs on their @science.org paper!

Their teams at the Doherty Institute showed that #macrophages are key for MR1 antigen presentation and MAIT cell immunity.

Excited to share our new study, the paper is out today @cp-immunity.bsky.social! Not all Treg cells are the same. We identified two Treg cell subsets with opposing functions in colorectal cancer (CRC). 1/8

Distinct components of mRNA vaccines cooperate to instruct efficient germinal center responses This study dissects the individual contributions of the different components of mRNA vaccines to immune responses. Nucleoside-modified mRNA promotes the production of type I interferons that act on de...

I am excited to share that our work, in which we have dissected the signals driven by the nucleoside-modified mRNA and LNP components of mRNA vaccines that regulate germinal center (GC) responses, is now published in Cell! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Opposing functions of distinct regulatory T cell subsets in colorectal cancer Huang et al. study the heterogeneity of regulatory T (Treg) cells in a genetic model of colorectal cancer (CRC) and find that interleukin (IL)-10− Treg cells promote tumor progression, whereas IL-10+ ...

Mind-blowing 🤯 IL-10⁺ Tregs restrain tumor growth?! Maybe it’s time to rethink “immunosuppressive cytokines” ; their function clearly depends on the inflammatory milieu. @mskcancercenter.bsky.social @cp-immunity.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

Generating functionally stable and antigen-specific Treg cells from effector T cells for cell therapy of inflammatory diseases Antigen-specific and functionally stable Treg cells can be generated in vitro from effector/memory T cells for cell therapy of inflammatory diseases.

Kyoto University scientists converted ordinary T cells into stable regulatory T cells that can suppress autoimmune disease in mice.

This approach may enable personalized, targeted cell therapy for inflammatory diseases.

How basic research at the interface of #immunology and #microbiology leads to potential new #vaccines that could be applied on the skin. Favorite sentence: "We applied bacterial cultures to the heads of mice by gently rubbing their skin with a swab."
