Greetings from Stockholm. We celebrated the 50th year anniversary of NK cells, and the legacy of Eva and George Klein… in the Klein lecture hall at the Karolinska Institute! Historical tributes and entertaining stories from Hans Wigzell, Rolf Kiessling, Klas Karre, Wayne Yokoyama, and Lewis Lanier!!

Working with rare immune populations? We describe an optimized low-input ATAC-seq workflow for tissue ILCs, allowing for reproducible epigenetic profiling. Technical report now out at EJI @EurJImmunol: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... Have a look!

Low‐Input Assay for Transposase‐Accessible Chromatin Identifies Epigenetic Signatures of Liver Group 1 Innate Lymphoid Cells
Assessing chromatin accessibility in rare cell populations within tissue remains a key challenge. To address this, we present a low-input ATAC workflow optimized for liver ILCs. The protocol is valid...

Wonderful to catch up with two former @wcm-imp.bsky.social grad students at this @faseborg.bsky.social meeting! So proud of alum who are now faculty running their own labs- Priya Issuree (U Iowa) and Ruth Franklin @ruthfranklinlab.bsky.social (Harvard). Nothing makes a program director more happy!

Check out this new study and TCR Tg mouse generated by Endi Santosa @endicytosis.bsky.social. If you are interested in studying classic and inflationary CD8+ T cell memory to MCMV infection, we’re happy to share this mouse, and @laboxenius.bsky.social is extremely generous with her Tg lines as well.

(1/2) In a study published in @cp-immunity.bsky.social, MSK's @josephsunlab.bsky.social and Dr. Rebecca Delconte found that fasting can supercharge the immune system's “natural killer” cells, a type of white blood cells that can kill #cancer cells.

Fun visit to UCLA today, where my former postdoc (Professor Tim O’Sullivan) gave me a nice welcome, and I had a wonderful dinner and discussions with scientific “grandkids” 😊 In the current and difficult environment we are all going through, it was an important reminder of why we love what we do!!
