Check out this super cool paper from @lindavsinclair.bsky.social and co which defines the fundamental timing, triggers and targets of autophagy in T cells!

🚨spoiler alert: they're not what most of the T cell literature says they are!

My perspective on CVs for DIA-based #proteomics is out in JPR

It explores how normalisation, the CV formula and software parameters affect the outputs. It suggests parameters to use for biological and technical studies and provides an R package to calculate CVs.

I spend a bit of time talking to folk with plasma cohorts about MS vs affinity approaches for discovery. Thought it was worth a thread.

Most love the marketing. 5,000 proteins? 10,000 proteins? OLink was used in UK Biobank? Wow, mass spec is sooooo last year. Except life is not that simple.

Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network

Looking forward to scientific discussions and updates on our favorite immune cell type!

One of the good perils about #TeamMassSpec being active again is, it takes a while to go through all the posts and links..

The side-by-side comparison of volcano plots showing how different the protein differential expression analysis is based on the normalization strategy employed is awesome..

1/ After 3 years long years, our proteomic analysis of human stem cells is finally out. We reveal key differences between human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs)β€”and show why normalisation is crucial. πŸ§ͺ

Beyond that find ppl you know, look down their follow list for relevant ppl. I'd fill out your description a bit first so ppl know who they're following back. Beyond that use of the #immunosky means you reach a relevant audience to organically grow a relevant follow/(er) community over time

A short thread to summarise.
