1/ I’m hugely excited to be able to share with you our paper ‘hepcidin-mediated hypoferremia disrupts immune responses to vaccination and infection’ @MedCellPress cell.com/med/fulltext/S2666-… Thank you @Drakesmith_Lab @MRC_HIU @MRC_WIMM our global collaborators! #Tweetorial time:

Hepcidin-Mediated Hypoferremia Disrupts Immune Responses to Vaccination and Infection

Iron deficiency is very common in humans and animals. Frost et al. demonstrate that low concentrations of iron in serum, caused by the hormone hepcidin, inhibit the body’s response to vaccines and...

Two new contributions from us: @MeganRTeh on the wild metabolism of CD8 T-cells in iron deficiency and why they love aspartate; and the current landscape of the strong influence of iron on immunity in general, with @JoeNFrost nature.com/articles/s41577-0… nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Iron and the immune system

Thrilled to have this story out online @ImmunityCP!! Together with @SunLab_Official, we highlight how dietary fasting improves NK cell anti-tumor immunity and examine the tissue-specific processes that drive these improved responses 🧵cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S…

Fasting reshapes tissue-specific niches to improve NK cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity

Dietary restriction is associated with improved elimination of cancer cells, and fasting regimens are being tested in clinical settings in combination with cancer therapies. Using a cyclic fasting...

Great thread from Felix on @sarah_wideman ‘s amazing recent paper. Sarah makes us ask what’s happening to the host immune response when we think about iron availability and malaria! It was a lot of fun working with them both and seeing this story develop.

I am really glad to highlight a fantastically thorough paper from @sarah_wideman and the @Drakesmith_Lab which I was allowed to have a small role in. It highlights the central role of cellular #iron levels in host cells during #malaria. A thread🧵 journals.plos.org/plospathog…👇

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share a pre-print of my postdoc work 🍾biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… We found a protein (Gb4) that allows immune cells to move after ”eating”. Normal innate immune cells (red) stop moving to prevent pathogen spreading, but cells lacking Gb4 keep migrating.

This is corroborated by NHS data, which shows that the huge increase in voluntary resignations over the past two years has been driven by people citing problems with their work-life balance.

Andrew Pollard nails it again: The UK's NHS has transformed healthcare by training clinical research leaders, but they must have protected time to deliver. This cannot be achieved while doctors and nurses are drowning in a chronically understaffed system. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Pressures on the NHS, a lack of doctors and post-Brexit delays are hampering our ability to develop cutting-edge drugs, says Prof Sir Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group

Really glad my PhD work is now released. Here is the promised 🧵. In the @aksimonlab, we have been investigating for a long time, how autophagy, the cellular recycling mechanism, controls immunity. However little is known how autophagy in non-immune cells impacts #immunity.
