Love this! 😊 I would say they’re all antigen presenting cells (APCs). But DCs are extra special- they are “professional antigen presenting cells” (Polly Matzinger, NIH)

Hot off the press. We observed elevated levels of G-CSF in AMD human donor RPE-Choroid tissue and identified c-reactive protein as an AMD associated stressor responsible for increased G-CSF levels. @choroidlab.bsky.social @adnankhan.bsky.social @stemcellseh.bsky.social.

A few months ago, I bought “the ultimate hummingbird feeder” from the Iowa State Fair for my Aunt and Uncle (who live in Arkansas). The best moment was getting a video clip back showing 6 hummingbirds (at one point) feeding just before they migrate!

Finally got to visit the only remaining part of the old Middlesex Hospital on Mortimer Street in London- the Grade II* listed chapel (now called Fitzrovia Chapel). Lots of plaques to honour staff of the medical school.

Is it acceptable to decline manuscript peer review when there’s a major conference coming up? Or at least ask for an extension!

I always love seeing where my CD covers come from. Similar paintings by Gerard ter Borch. ‘The Duet’ and ‘The Music Lesson’, the latter on display at Chicago Institute of Art.
