Pre-print alert! And this one really is a must read for anyone that does spectral #flowcytometry. It is a complete, fully-automated spectral unmixing pipeline that reduces error up to 9000-fold. Want to get a tough sample, like lung, looking like this? Read more! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

This study shows that animal-based high-fat diets accelerate tumour growth and impair anti-tumour response to melanoma in obese mice, whereas plant-based high-fat diets do not.

Biologist folk (especially in evolutionary biology and/or ecology, but it don’t matter): Can you give me your favorite examples of trade offs in biology? Organism or system don’t matter. Primary literature or reviews preferred.

Vaccination against helminth IL-33 modulators permits immune-mediated parasite ejection

Vaccination against helminth IL-33 modulators permits immune-mediated parasite ejection
The helminth immunomodulators from the HpARI and HpBARI families can block IL-33 responses. Smyth and Hodge et al. show that vaccination with these immunomodulatory proteins can raise blocking antibody responses against them, allowing the development of effective anti-parasite type 2 immunity and ejection of the parasite.
