How can pDCs promote tissue fibrosis? 🗣️Catarina Almeida. iBiMED - Institute of Biomedicine, University of Aveiro @ibimed_ua @univaveiro Living #SEI2025

@SEinmunologia @ibimed_ua @UnivAveiro It was an honor to present our work at your meeting! ¡Muchas gracias por la invitación!

Dear SPI Members, Happy #DayOfImmunology! To celebrate we release Episode 7 of the SPI podcast, ImmunoTalks: open.spotify.com/episode/1quO9W… Henrique Veiga-Fernandes discusses how neuronal signals regulate innate immune cells in tissue physiology. Don't miss it!

Very happy to share our publication in Arthritis Research & Therapy 😊 We found that pDC from #SystemicSclerosis patients with different autoantibodies show different #metabolic requirements. rdcu.be/eaAps @BeatrizHFe @Worldsclerofnd arthritis-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Very happy to share that our latest paper is out in Cell Comm and Signaling! We found that ER stress in a pDC cell line drives fibroblast activation, shedding light on #fibrosis mechanisms in #SystemicSclerosis. #Scleroderma @BeatrizHFe @Worldsclerofnd link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Meio milhão de euros para o nosso investigador Philippe Pierre estudar doença autoimune rara ua.pt/pt/noticias/16…

We have two available fellowships for students interested in pursuing a PhD project on novel molecular networks regulating Pathological Inflammatory Conditions #autoimmunity #SAVI

🧬 Patients prone to autoimmune diseases have mutations in genes that regulate the body response to stress. With support from #CaixaResearch, Philippe Pierre will investigate this relationship in a rare autoinflammatory disease with childhood onset called SAVI. 👇 tinyurl.com/3rrj6ztf

We are ready to share our research tonight during the #EuropeanResearchersNight @UnivAveiro #NEI2024 #scleroderma #SSc #autoimmunedisease

The first episode of the new podcast from the Portuguese Society for Immunology, where @BSilva_Santos discusses cancer immunotherapy, is now available – English version: open.spotify.com/episode/0lfgzB… Please share! Thank you! 

This week, the brilliant PhD student @BeatrizHFe defended her thesis! It was an honour to have her as a student and to supervise her work alongside Philippe Pierre and Iola Duarte!

It was a fulfilling event ! facebook.com/plugins/post.p…

Tomorrow we will be at Fábrica Centro de Ciência Viva @UnivAveiro explaining a bit of our research to young kids😊

We have two open positions: we are hiring one PhD fellow and one research fellow to study the role of the microenvironment in Systemic Sclerosis pathogenesis. @Worldsclerofnd

We always have fun joining the #DayOfImmunology celebrations. Today we had some activities for schools, with Fábrica Centro Ciência Viva de Aveiro ua.pt/pt/fabrica/dia…

It's a busy week for out team, with Mariana presenting her work at SICR2024 and @BeatrizHFe at #spi24

(1/3) Our 30th Anniversary issue is online! To celebrate with the immunology community, we hosted an open call for cover submissions & were grateful to have received beautiful & creative submissions from across the world! The winning design featured on the cover of this anniversary issue was designed by Yun Hsuan Elena Lin, a Ph.D. candidate in the laboratory of Dr. John Chang at UCSD @elnlnx cell.com/immunity/issue…
