Almost 15 years after our initial observation that IRE1 is specifically active in cDC1s, we finally start understanding why… Check out the new study from @victor-bosteels.bsky.social, published in @natcomms.nature.com in press @https://rdcu.be/fur4Q

Our latest preprint in an awesome collaboration with the Wack Lab @crick.ac.uk. Led by @chrysante-ili.bsky.social, @woutertj.bsky.social and @isobelmouat.bsky.social. We show that monocytes follow a largely conserved differentiation blueprint in the 🫁 when elicited by distinct challenges.

Cardoso et al. @reisesousalab.bsky.social show that DNGR-1–deficient pre-cDCs display cell-intrinsic alterations in their ability to colonize peripheral organs. Their findings highlight an unexpected role for innate immune receptors in regulating cDCpoiesis. rupress.org/jem/article/...
