B Cells and Plasma Cells: Fundamental and Translational Biology | Keystone Symposia Join us at the Keystone Symposia on B Cells and Plasma Cells: Fundamental and Translational Biology, March 2026, in Keystone, with field leaders!

Working with a great team to organize @keystoneSymposia.bsky.social #BCells & #PlasmaCells : Fundamental & Translational Biology, this March! Join us to explore emerging research in Keystone! keysym.us/KSBCells26 #KSBCells26

Are you an immunologist working towards your first R01?

Please join @aai.org and take advantage of programs like our Grant Review for Immunologists Program www.aai.org/Careers/GRIP

We pair early career principal investigators with established mentors. Send me a chat for more info

What a great day; lots of fantastic discussions and a lovely location to boot!

Thank you for hosting me!

“Lab Girl” being censored is baffling. I’ve read this wonderful work; nothing offensive in it whatsoever — unless showing that women can be scientists is no longer “appropriate content” for children?? Everyone go buy a copy in protest. My 2016 review in Nature👇 www.nature.com/articles/532...

I've been developing a semantic search tool that covers not just bioRxiv and medRxiv, but the entire PubMed database. This means you can search across a massive collection of biomedical research using keywords, questions, hypotheses, or even full abstracts. Try it out: mssearch.xyz

International speaker alert! International speaker alert!

Excited to host @kimljacobson.bsky.social after the Keystone conference in March @lunduniversity-med.bsky.social @lundstem.bsky.social! #Bcells #LundImmunoTalks

Heads up from National Lawyers Guild: if you have an iPhone, you have to turn off Siri or Apple Intelligence so it’s not monitoring/reading/learning from your Signal messages. Go to Settings—> Apps —> click Signal —> toggle Apple intelligence or Siri setting to off (“learn from this app”)

If you have an iPhone and don’t want Apple AI monitoring/reading/learning from every single app you use, you need to make these changes (not just for Signal). 🧪

Noted! Although that may have also happened with the characters in LM 😂

Ok bluesky - I want to finally get through one of these dust collectors during the Aussie summer… any recommendations of which to choose?

Closest I’ve gotten to W&P is reading Anna Karenina… and closest to I’ve gotten to LM is enduring the movie 🙃

Hi 👋🏼 The Vinuesa lab has arrived at BlueSky! Follow us if you want to talk about all the exciting science going on in autoimmunity, genetics, and anything B cell-related 🧬 🧪

I’ve tried to put together a starter pack of immunologists/scientists exploring B Cell Repertoires and Antibody Affinities.

Please feel free to share/join!

Congratulations Danika!!

Friends, it's fun to see the #immunology community continue to grow! I created a 4th Starter Pack to help folks find each other. If you're an immunologist and you don't see yourself on the lists, let me know 🧪

PD-1 regulates germinal center B cell survival and the formation and affinity of long-lived plasma cells - Nature Immunology PD-1 is commonly associated with inhibitory functions, yet it is highly expressed in follicular T cells. Shlomchik and colleagues find that PD-1 signaling in germinal centers is necessary for long-liv...

This study is a tour de force by Masato and Koji using rare samples from immunodeficient patients... and nicely complements our previous in vivo data (from my time in the Shlomchik lab) www.nature.com/articles/ni....

It's great to see this out in Immunity today!
Masato Ogishi, Koji Kitaoka, Jean-Laurent Casanova, Stuart Tangye on memory B cells in patients with PD-1 immunodeficiency

Also stoked to contribute unpublished recall response data from my postdoc a very long time ago 🙂

The consequences of SARS-CoV-2 within-host persistence

SARS-CoV-2 causes an acute respiratory tract infection that resolves in most people in less than a month.What if it does not?

I must admit that this annotated Nature abstract remains a useful recipe for constructing a summary paragraph. I show it to my students every time we get started.

Promiscuous Janus kinase binding to cytokine receptors modulates signaling efficiencies and contributes to cytokine pleiotropy Competition among JAKs for receptor binding may underlie cell type–specific differences in cytokine signaling.

#TheMoreTheMerrier! Zoler, Meyer, Schreiber &co show @ Science Signaling that the type I interferon receptor IFNAR can promiscuously bind multiple JAKs affecting downstream signaling & competing with other cytokine receptors! doi.org/10.1126/scisignal.adl1892

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

#blutorial seems to be gaining in use and I’m hoping that’s what sticks. Whatever you call them, I love a good explainer!

Time for a reset...let's go!

Keystone Symposia conference in 2026 for B cells and plasma cells, in Keystone Colorado

Save the date! It may be a while to go yet, but I’m very excited for our B-cellapalooza in 2026!

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here.

The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added
