- Congratulations to @errricpeterman.bsky.social for the second-ever journal cover from the lab!
- Reposted by Jeff RasmussenA small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

- Latest paper from the lab! 👀 Check out this macrophage (labeled with a microtubule reporter in blue) avoid an epithelial obstacle (labeled with a nuclear reporter in pink) as it migrates to a wound (off screen to the left) ⬅️ Video credit: @errricpeterman.bsky.social
- Eric Peterman @errricpeterman.bsky.social, Jeffrey Rasmussen @jraslab.bsky.social @uwbiology.bsky.social & colleagues discover that microtubules regulate tissue-level navigation in skin-resident macrophages. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/... Article: journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
- Thank you @jcellsci.bsky.social for this research highlight "Microtubules help macrophages navigate the epidermal maze" as a companion to our manuscript from @errricpeterman.bsky.social ! journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
- Congrats to @errricpeterman.bsky.social on leading our latest paper now published in @jcellsci.bsky.social ! Eric found multiple roles for microtubules in tissue-resident macrophage homeostasis and function -- including in helping macrophages navigate around epithelial obstacles during wound repair👇

Great team, great environment. Apply here: careers-fhcrc.icims.com/jobs/30062/j...

- 👀 Latest paper from the lab now published @dev-journal.bsky.social
- 🎉 Our study identifying the direct precursors of Merkel cells is now published in @dev-journal.bsky.social Thank you to our reviewers @reviewcommons.org and collaborators for helping us improve the manuscript. Check out these cell behaviors we visualized in #zebrafish skin. doi.org/10.1242/dev....

- Reposted by Jeff RasmussenIn 1975 "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Space Oddity" were on the UK top 100, and Ward, Thomson, White, and Brenner published the first reconstruction of the C. elegans sensory anatomy. A short 50 years later, we reconstructed the same neurons and glia in the embryo: doi.org/10.1101/2025...
