Yahoo! I was the only girl in some of my classes in high school and college. Though we’ve come a long way, women are still a minority in science. Excited to see the blossoming careers of many young women in science today!

Central trained immunity is still a nascent field— is there true reprogramming of hematopoietic progenitors to influence innate immunity, or is this selection for lineage biased cells? We explore the nuances in this new review. doi.org/10.7554/eLif... awesome collab with Eva Kaufmann and team!

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells as a reservoir for trained immunity

Inflammation supports selection, differentiation bias, and epigenetic reprogramming of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to generate innate immune memory.
