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.

We have a second paper to share this week, this time investigating the gut-brain axis in stroke. Here we show that stroke is associated with persistent gut structural and microbiome changes, however these changes are distinct in acute and chronic recovery. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Innate type 2 lymphocytes trigger an inflammatory switch in alveolar macrophages
Monocyte-derived macrophages are highly plastic, whereas tissue-resident macrophages resist inflammatory reprogramming. Verwaerde et al. show that tissue-resident alveolar macrophages can be reprogrammed during type 2 pulmonary immune responses by activating IRF4-driven chemotaxis and fusion pathways and conversely suppressing PPARγ-dependent homeostatic programs.

This collab started when I met Fredi at the 2023 #EMDS meeting. Since then it’s been wonderful working with her, @selmatuzlak.bsky.social & Burkhard to explore these GM-CSF dependent #macrophages in #glands. Delighted to see this published in @natimmunol.nature.com 🥳 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Adenophages are an atypical macrophage population in exocrine glands sustained by ILC2-derived GM-CSF - Nature Immunology
Here the authors identify adenophages, a previously unknown macrophage population present in exocrine glands in mice and humans. These cells are dependent on ILC2-derived GM-CSF and support glandular ...

IRR researchers and colleagues discover that the common childhood virus, RSV, leaves lasting ‘immune memory’ in lungs. Proteins that help fight infection (MHCs) stay elevated, boosting protection for subsequent infections but also increases the risk of allergies. edin.ac/45r7lAN edin.ac/4fJ9cEj
