The paper contains beautiful CosMX images that integrate with the scRNAseq findings to investigate the spatial distribution of myeloid cells. Authors found M1 macrophages & neutrophils close to inflamed mucosal surfaces. Granulomas showed a high abundance of IDA macrophages. 6/7

Another year, another amazing #BSI2023! A new kid on the block - session on mechanoimmunology, chaired by Irina and @DessiMalinova. Great talks on mechanosensing by @spencerSK1 and @ActonLab, as well as our own @capyBara_bs . Watch this area becoming a mainstream in a few years!

Big welcome to @LinhNguyen160, who completed her PhD training @hkust on development and function of myeloid cells in the zebrafish brain. She now applies her stellar imaging and genomic skills to dissecting spatiotemporal neutrophil behaviour in the gut. Funded by @The_MRC
