The devastating Iranian attack on the WIS is not only a strike against a scientific institution—it is an assault on humanity’s future, on medicine, and on the pursuit of discovery. It undermines the very foundations of scientific research. youtu.be/7W4iqRPnScs

Shani presented her unpublished findings showing that targeting COMMD10 in adipose tissue macrophages improves obesity and its associated metabolic illnesses by boosting their mitochondrial activity while balancing their redox.

🚨To all macrophage & dendritic cell fans. Last time we organised a VIB Myeloid cell meeting we were completely sold-out within weeks. So just a warning to register in time for the #EMDS23 conference! vibconferences.be/events/emd…. Speaker list is fantastic 🤩🤩🤩. Please retweet 🙏🏼

📢 Together with @KC_DC_01 we made a super cool portal for anyone to navigate the data @CellCellPress: livercellatlas.org/ This means you can take any UMAP from any figure and then check the expression of any gene or protein of interest yourself 1/2 cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Happy to share our recent study showing that COMMD10 is essential for liver Kupffer cell homeostatic survival and also for regulation of Ly6Chi monocyte differentiation and inflammatory behaviour at the diseased liver. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…
