After many months of work, our study on embryonic #neutrophils is now finally published in @natcomms.nature.com! My (offline) colleagues Laura, Emmi, and I report on the kinetics, localisation, and phenotype of neonatal neutrophils in the mouse. @utu.fi @inflames-flagship.bsky.social rdcu.be/ftxhF

Tissue-resident neutrophils serve homeostatic and immunological functions in embryos - Nature Communications
The development and function of neutrophils in early life is less well understood than that of adults. Here using mouse models, the authors investigate the presence and function of neutrophil precurso...

Happy to finally share what my colleagues Laura, Emmi, and I have been working on for the last years in @rantakarigroup.bsky.social We show that neutrophils in the mouse embryo infiltrate non-immune tissues and serve homeostatic roles during tissue development @inflames-flagship.bsky.social @utu.fi

Finnish researchers show in a new study that pituitary macrophages help regulate hormonal balance. It is possible that in the future, macrophage cells could be used to treat endocrine disorders that can lead, for example, to infertility. @rantakarigroup.bsky.social @turkubioscience.bsky.social

Our study on tissue-resident macrophages in the pituitary gland is now out in Cell Reports! Great work by (offline) Henna and @helijokela.bsky.social with help from our collaborators Florent Ginhoux, @becherlab.bsky.social, Melanie Greter, and Marko Salmi! doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2024.115227 1/4
