MORE EVIDENCE THAT DENDRITIC CELLS ARE THE BEST IMMUNE CELL!!! Our lab has published our first paper explaining how cDCs transfer context specific information from the site of inflammation to the lymph node and its bloody brilliant 😎 @chiara_pirillo @Robertslab1

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio… 1/9

We had an absolute blast at the Spring Fling at @UofGSii yesterday! Thanks for arranging it @hcbialic & can't wait to try again next year 🥳 we'll be working away on our artistic skills!

Join @s_milling, @A_N_Ferguson, @Erika_Aqu1no, @AdrienneICPV & Vivienne Wilkes at #BSI22 today at 13:15 in Hall 1C to discuss the importance of public & patient involvement in research. Spoiler: it's hugely valuable to everyone involved in more ways than you may have thought...

Last chance to catch a glimpse at #BSI22 of the work going on in the Milling lab before our posters get packed away! First up, we have P-041 where Alana Brown showcases her work investigating the role of macrophages in alopecia areata

Then you can catch @annaandrusaite's work at P-156 to learn intestinal dendritic cells and how these are modified by helminths to skew the host immune response

Finally, @A_N_Ferguson has been investigating trained immunity in monocytes from people with axial spondyloarthritis, and pondering how the gut-joint axis contributes to this disease

We've had an incredible time at #BSI22, catching up with both old & new friends, and being inspired by all the remarkable research that we've come across here! Can't wait for #BSI23 in Belfast next year! 🥳

A fascinating talk from @FredeAnnika today at #BSI22 on the effects of autophagy on Treg cells - always love to hear the work going on in the @kjmaloy lab!

2% of people in the UK are affected by alopecia areata. Have you heard of alopecia areata? 1/🧵
56% Yes - tell me more!
44% No - please explain!

Atopy often occurs in people with alopecia – but little is understood about how the diseases are linked. Here, we found that people with both alopecia areata & atopy showed changes to their B cell subsets – could B cells be a key component linking these diseases? 6/🧵
Graphs showing frequencies of B cell subsets from people with alopecia areata classified as atopic or non-atopic, and healthy controls. The frequency of total B cells, transitional B cells, mature B cells, and naïve B cells were increased in people with atopic alopecia areata, while switched B cells were not significantly different compared to non-atopic alopecia areata and healthy controls.

THANK YOU to all our participants – 65 people with alopecia areata & 38 healthy volunteers – whose generous donations made these discoveries possible! And thank you to @AlopeciaUK, @AstraZeneca & Medical Research Scotland for their funding & support throughout this research!

A day out - very grateful For opportunity to participate in the Glasgow University Microbiome Initiative. @KGerasimidis is in action just now showcasing his clinical nutrition studies on the GI microbiome. @GUMIGlasgow
