'In this review, we discuss the communication between mast cells and neurons in host-protective avoidance behavior and expulsion reflexes and present a concept of mast cells as converters of signals from IgE and other stimuli into organ-specific or systemic reflexes.' #Immunology #Neuroimmunology

Beyond classical immunity: Mast cells as signal converters between tissues and neurons
Mast cells act as “signal converters,” translating immunological and tissue signals into host-protective behaviors. They sense antigen and possibly toxins driving avoidance behavior, which can prevent...

Excited to share our preprint: Polytope, an epitope barcoding system, generating up to 512 unique color codes for in vivo lineage tracing. 🌈🧬 This tech enables spatial fate-mapping with unprecedented clonal and spatial resolution! doi.org/10.1101/2024... #SpatialBiology #LineageTracing #Polytope

Polytope: High-resolution epitope barcoding for in vivo spatial fate-mapping
Tracing the fate of individual cells and their progeny remains a challenging task. While imaging-based fate-mapping provides spatial information, it generally lacks complexity due to limited label div...

Let the new spatial barcoding era begin! 🚨𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞! New preprint by my colleague @dpostrach.bsky.social: 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐞 uses 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝟓𝟏𝟐 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮 as they grow, expand and travel.
And cheap readout using IBEX. Can't wait to see all the fields that will profit from this tool!
