Petition: Review all trade ties with Israel, suspend 2030 roadmap & impose trade sanctions We call on the Government to review existing trade ties with Israel, suspend the 2030 Roadmap for UK-Israel bilateral relations and impose trade sanctions upon Israel.

Please sign this Parliamentary petition calling for comprehensive trade sanctions on Israel - the limited sanctions on specific members of the Israeli Government by the UK do not go far enough: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Fenestrated endothelium enables the extravasation of immune complexes into the synovium. There the interaction of macrophages (producing IL1b, CXCL1) and nociceptive neurons (producing CGRP) induce pain and inflammation.

Thereโ€™s no place like home: How local tissue microenvironments shape the function of innate lymphoid cells Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) have emerged as critical immune effectors with key roles in orchestrating the wider immune response. While ILC are relativโ€ฆ

The pre-proof version of our new review is online now at @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social. @lukeocyte.bsky.social and Alanna Kelly (not on Bluesky) deep dive into ILC niches, and discuss how cellular interactions, nutrients and ECM shape our innate immune system!

The meninges host a distinct compartment of regulatory T cells that preserves brain homeostasis Meningeal regulatory T cells restrain local interferon-ฮณโ€“producing lymphocytes, thereby safeguarding parenchymal brain homeostasis.

How Iโ€™m creating career opportunities for researchers back home in Mexico David Posner hopes that his teaching and outreach programmes could apply to other low- and middle-income countries.

I've always been passionate about outreach and social justice, especially when in science.

I wrote this article @nature.com to inspire others to generate similar initiatives. nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03562-4

I'll be sharing a new large-scale programme I'm launching soon. Stay tuned!
