Excited to share our new @romagnanilab.bsky.social preprint! We use somatic mutations to show how a central principle of adaptive immunity - clonal selection - shapes innate immune memory to viral infection. A huge thanks to all co-authors and collaborators! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Romagnani Lab | ILC & NK Cell Immunology Research Berlin
We study the basic mechanisms of cellular adaptation at the single-cell level, investigating how innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and natural killer (NK) cells shape immunity at Charité and DRFZ Berlin.

@biorxivpreprint.bsky.social selective upregulation of XCL1 by activated NK cells is accompanied by the synovial enrichment of XCR1+ cDC1, directly correlating with disease severity #JIA @romagnanilab.bsky.social @drfzberlin.bsky.social @timorckert.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share my paper published today in @cp-immunity.bsky.social! We find that when CTLs integrate antigen and cytokine signaling, the timing of these cues matters - shedding light on an old question: Why do NK cells sometimes behave like CD8+ T cells? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Lymphocyte differentiation during infection depends on the integration of antigen and cytokine signals, yet how the timing and sequence of these cues …

Trying a slightly new model (for us at least) of #openscience. With @ronanchaligne.bsky.social and @karolisk.bsky.social, we pitted 10x Genomics Chromium GEM-X against Illumina PIPseq V head-to-head to understand these two platforms for single-cell genomics. Some thoughts off the bleeding edge: /1
