Dynamic immune cell profiling in the gut over the course of a day! A beautiful collection of data sets, congratulations to @ImmYouKnowledgy and friends on a beautiful BioRx submission!
I'm so happy to see this out on bioRxiv! I took a detour to collaborate with some wonderful people to make this dataset a reality. Our goal was to conduct an unbiased analysis of immune system changes in the small intestine over the course of the day. Enjoy!

🎉 Thrilled to see our #MosquitoCellAtlas featured on the cover of @CellCellPress! This mosaic represents 367,000 cells across 19 tissues, unveiling the complex biology that makes mosquitoes the world's deadliest animals. Art meets science! 🦟🎨

New issue alert! 👉 cell.com/cell/current
On the cover: The mosquito mosaic represents the tissues of the atlas presented by Goldman et al. The atlas reveals the complex diversity underlying the mosquito’s remarkable ability to locate human hosts and transmit deadly pathogens

Checking my cells and infections late tonight for a collaboration - who might I see @ almost 11pm, still hard at work in the lab, @CT_Wu_Lab! One of my favorites, polishing up some last minute data for his talk at our PMID (Microbes, Immunity, & Disease) symposium. What a legend!

Very proud to have our lab's first work published in @cellhostmicrobe!
In this work, we use functional metagenomics to find phage defenses from human and soil microbiomes!
Congrats to first author @luis840alberto !

My lab’s first preprint!
We used functional metagenomics to identify phage defenses in human and soil microbiomes. We scaled these selections while maintaining accuracy, enabling us to examine 9 habitats for defense elements against 7 phages.

Our (@GammonLab) manuscript on virus-host interactions & RNF214 is now out in @PLOSPathogens! Perhaps one of the coolest things we found was that RNF214 knockout increased viral infections, without altering IFN-Beta signalling or select ISG expression!

Our preprint exploring bacterial effectors & mammalian immunity is out! I often heard during our last project "Why study moths? Do it in mammals!"... So we did, two even! Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this story, wouldn't be here without y'all

New preprint from Gammon Lab @UTSWMedCenter where bacterial effectors reveal a role for mammalian RNF214 proteins in antiviral immunity in bats and humans! Great collab with the Alto Lab!

Can we use animal venom for arbovirus transmission control? @LSTMvector and @CSRIatLSTM are exploring that possibility in our (pre-print) review.

nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked
people will remember:
- if you had the curse of curves
- if you were in the business of misery
- you went down swinging

We found many cases of horizontal gene transfer of Dynamin-like genes between host genomes & large dsDNA viruses that replicate in the cytoplasm. (Also see academic.oup.com/mbe/article…)
TL;DR: Dynamin function is an ancient, likely ongoing battle between host & viral genomes. /5
