- #academia Hi! So question is When will I stop cleaning after my colleagues mess, fix their mistakes and re-do their job due to laziness in the #lab because I need that? not mentioning loss of time and effort which I have to spent for my work instead…

CXCR3+ high-affinity CD8s can get IL-2 from "stop-and-go" moving CD4+ TCs, inducing affinity selection while Tregs mop up IL-2. in 🐭 @science.org 🧪⑂ 1/2 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

- Surprisingly, some LEP gene mutations tied to obesity may reduce body weight by enhancing leptin function. A reminder that biology is rarely black and white. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

- 🧠 Researchers created a single-cell atlas of brain metastases from various cancers, uncovering unique tumor-immune landscapes and microenvironmental niches. This comprehensive map offers insights for developing targeted treatments: www.cell.com/cancer-cell/... #CancerResearch #BrainMetastasis
- CD8 T cell priming involves two phases: initial activation by dendritic cells, followed by a second phase where T cells re-cluster with DCs and receive IL-2 from CD4 T cells. This discovery could inform better immunotherapy strategies. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #Immunology #TCells
- In #CancerCachexia, a brain-immune circuit in the area postrema links inflammation to apathy & low motivation. This explains how inflammation triggers loss of appetite & weight loss, pointing to possible new treatments. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #Neuroscience #Immunology
- Last day of bioinformatics workshop of @itcrtraining.bsky.social at @umich.edu Very informative for who wants to fill the gap between the connections of informatics and wet lab !

- Reposted by Fulya AlkanToday we released our fourth article for @your.neighborhoodscientist.org! During this time when my future and the future of US science is uncertain, I’m finding a lot of comfort in my colleagues who continue to do beautiful work and Francesca’s words resonate deeply with me.

- Thanksgiving is the deadline for submission. Flood of flow data to analyze including 2018 data with 0 knowledge of which antibody is which color. Squeeze 3 abstract submission and 1 poster in 2 days. Dishwasher is broken, don’t know when be fixed. After 2 years,Mom’s here for 2 weeks only. Oopsz.
