Lovely to see the imaging by @lizihegarty.bsky.social making the front cover of @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social. Instead is our work on #macrophage heterogeneity & dynamics in health & inflammation. We also did a short podcast to discuss the main findings. @edinuni-irr.bsky.social @uofgsii.bsky.social

Our latest preprint, led by @lizihegarty.bsky.social & aided by @erinwatson.bsky.social shows that fixation time matters when it comes to visualising #macrophages in #salivarygland & other epithelia.We find 1hr allows detection of mac subsets while preserving architecture. With @bainlab.bsky.social

Do tissue resident #macrophages survive through intestinal #inflammation? Are they terminally differentiated or can they adapt? @lizihegarty.bsky.social asked these Qs during her @wellcometrust.bsky.social PhD and her findings are now published @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social @edinuni-irr.bsky.social
