On the cover, McCallum et al. depict a fluorescent micrograph showing a engineered biosensor strain in the mouse colon, illustrating how commensal bacteria can serve as in situ reporters of dynamic gut physiology.
A new Review discusses the immune makeup within the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities, including changes that occur during conditions such as cancer and endometriosis.

Thank you to Gerardo Barcia for his beautiful design and constant support in building it
Too much data, too little thinking.
A important essay from Ruslan Medzhitov on the importance of understanding data, not just generating it. A must read.

13% success rates at #CIHR, is a really 87% fail rate for>4000 scientists. At a time when 🇨🇦 is investing millions to recruit more scientist into a broken funding environment. 🇨🇦, U need a strong science foundation 2 attract success. #CIHR, fix your science foundation, it is eroding in real time

Really sorry to hear that reviewers are abusing people with diseases. Hiding behind a screen does not take courage. It is cowardice. Bully tactics.
Sad commentary on the quality of reviewers. In person review panels hold reviewers accountable.
#CIHR being back in person review panels.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Sir Nicholas White @moru-mip.bsky.social
Nick was a visionary in #malaria treatment whose work transformed global health.
He will be remembered with great respect and affection

Do you have a background in #neuroscience or #immunology? Better still, #neuroimmunology? Cell has an opening for a full-time scientific editor. Role will be based out of any one of our offices in Medford, MA, UK, Spain, Netherlands, China tinyurl.com/4ma236xn @cp-cell.bsky.social
Over 100 years ago, platelets were observed to interact with neutrophils in blood clots
Eric Boilard & team now detail platelet-neutrophil interactions as more abundant in arthritic conditions, noting that neutrophils fail to migrate in the absence of platelets: doi.org/10.1172/JCI1...
I’ve joined the editorial team at the journal Science, handling papers in infectious diseases, microbiology, host-microbe interactions, and related topics. I’ll be delighted to hear from you (by email) about exciting research studies. 🦠 #microsky #immunosky #virosky www.science.org/content/page...

Pain-sensing neurons in the intestines play an important role in defending the body from threats.
New study led by the Artis Lab at @weillcornell.bsky.social shows TRPV1+ nociceptors in the gut activate tuft cells, leading to expulsion of parasites.

In 1943, Rockefeller’s Oswald Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty demonstrated that #DNA carries an organism’s genetic information. Their discovery launched a scientific revolution that’s placed genetics at the core of modern biomedical science.

In the strain on scientific publishing, we showed that total publications have grown out of control. A huge part of that was guest edited special issues by groups like #MDPI and #Frontiers.
This ongoing practice is the largest delegation of editorial power academia has ever seen.

What are #Neutrophils? why are there so many? how are they shaped by disease? how is it that they maintain memory despite their short lifespan?

It provides a biological structure that focuses on a single immune cell lineage to discover the many ways in which neutrophils "interpret" physiology.
