13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. It’s the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread awareness and honor his journey. 🙏🏻

I am delighted to announce our manuscript on aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligand sensing by gut endothelial cells is now out in @Nature! This has been a lot of collective hard work over the last 3 years, and I am proud to see this work across the line! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

More reasons to eat vegetables – even when you’re ill! 🥬🌱🥦
A team of researchers from across the Crick has shown that a diet rich in chemicals found in vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and kale helped mice to fight off a lung infection.

Latest from the Lab @TheCrick. The transition from IgM to affinity-matured IgG #antibodies is vital for effective humoral immunity. @LZhang1807 identified a unique transcriptional mechanism required for IgG1 B cell positive selection in #germinalcenters tinyurl.com/3rdunjka
ALT "Regulation of BCR-mediated Ca2 mobilization by MIZ1-TIMBIM4 safeguards IgG1 GC B cell positive selection": * The transition from IgM to affinity-matured IgG antibodies is vital for effective humoral immunity. This is facilitated by germinal centers (GCs) through affinity maturation and preferential accumulation of IgG B cells over IgM B cells. * However, it is not known whether the positive selection of the different immunoglobulin isotypes within GCs varies in its dependency on specific transcriptional mechanisms. * We found that MIZ1 was specifically required for IgG1 GC B cell survival during positive selection, whereas IgM GC B cells were largely independent. * Mechanistically, MIZ1 induced TMBIM4, an ancestral anti-apoptotic protein that regulated inositol trisphosphate receptor mediated Ca2 mobilization downstream of IgG1. * The MIZ1-TMBIM4 axis prevented mitochondria dysfunction-induced IgG1 GC cell death caused by excessive Ca2 accumulation.

From FB 😢
Post from a Beekeeper 🐝
“Its late, and maybe in the morning I'll delete this post, but I've just got home and for now I need to write this down.
Earlier this evening I received a message from a home owner to say they had a swarm of bees in their hedge, but they were worried about them because children had been throwing water at them.
By the time my fellow beekeeper and I arrived, what had been a beautiful prime swarm was reduced to a few hundred drenched bees, huddling limply around their queen.
I've already deleted the photos of the puddles of water, the dripping wet hedge, and the many, many dead and dying bees that hadn't been able to escape the attack; sharing those pictures serves no purpose.
We gently placed the bees that had survived into a collection box, and hopefully tomorrow, when they've had chance to dry out and settle, we'll check on them and if necessary feed them; they'll be exhausted and possibly (understandably) defensive. They've been through a lot.
Please, please, help me to educate your children, your grandchildren, your neices and nephews, your neighbours, your colleagues and your friends that a swarm of bees isn't dangerous - they're amazing creatures that are just looking for a new home.
Please don't let anyone harm them.
Just call a beekeeper who will gladly rehome them.
Please help me to spread this message and hopefully save any more bees from being unnecessarily harmed” 😢
Sad and unhappy Beekeeper
