(1/12) Over a year ago, we launched a new project to explore whether the tissue microenvironment could predict cellular behaviour and whether reprogramming might unlock new therapeutic avenues. 🧬 Spatial transcriptomics provides deep insights into tissue organisation. We wanted to take this further by building a model that predicts how the tissue microenvironment rewires cells, and in silico predict how reprogramming influences the diseased microenvironment. Today, in collaboration with @Muzz_Haniffa at @sangerinstitute we’re excited to share the preprint for Mintflow, including two novel disease datasets. Link to preprint: shorturl.at/alFUO 🧵

📢 Excited to share our new study, "Spatiotemporal Single-Cell Roadmap of Human Skin Wound Healing," in Cell Stem Cell! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵

These @humancellatlas papers are a major milestone. We’re proud to be among the funders of the Human Cell Atlas. This project, which has built a vibrant global community to work openly and in partnership, represents discovery science at its best.

“The @humancellatlas was one of @ChanZuckerberg’s first big bets in science, & these landmark papers are a testament to the power of collaboration.” –Steve Quake, Head of Science

Out today in Nature: "The Human Cell Atlas"! In my commentary, I compare the cell atlas to early naturalists exploring South America. Researchers mining this cell atlas can now make big discoveries, just as the next naturalists then discovered evolution. nature.com/articles/d4158…

🚨 New publication alert! 🚨 As part of the exciting #HCA publication bundle in @Nature, we reveal metaplasia’s role in inflammation in gut diseases, powered by a single-cell atlas of the entire human gastrointestinal tract. 🌟 nature.com/articles/s4158…

⭐️NEW PAPER OUT in @Nature⭐️ 🫀What is the relationship between the immune responses in the heart, blood, and tumor in patients with inflammation in the heart resulting from cancer immunotherapy (irMyocarditis)? This 🧵 breaks down the key findings 1/n nature.com/articles/s4158…

New Review from @Muzz_Haniffa and colleagues @sangerinstitute explains how the prenatal immune system develops rdcu.be/dZcJn

‘We are poised for an exciting era of translational ageing research with opportunities to build an interdisciplinary clinical and academic community’. Professor @AvanSayer presented the 2024 #HarveianOration, which you can now watch on demand: ow.ly/F85O50U0aBY

Really enjoyed writing this review @NatRevImmunol on our current understanding of the human prenatal immune system. Full text access: rdcu.be/dYJWg

Thank you @NatRevImmunol for highlighting the role of macrophages in human development - in the pancreas by @mcnostro @MCNostroLab and our study on human skin

Immune cells guide and protect developing skin, much like keystone species in a rainforest. @HaniffaLab @Muzz_Haniffa @teichlab @krkoehler @humancellatlas @EdelOToole @TreutleinLab @bayraktar_lab @FranzeProgatzky @UniofNewcastle @sangerinstitute nature.com/articles/s4158…

@CJStewart7 @ListerInstitute @teichlab Thx @CJStewart7

@ListerInstitute @teichlab And former Lister Fellow @Muzz_Haniffa 😊

Congrats to @teichlab and former Lister Fellow Dr Sarah Teichmann for contributing to this incredible 'multi-omics' research. It adds to the Human Cell Atlas and provides 'recipes' that may help grow hair follicles or skin grafts. doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

Ready for #DC2024Barcelona? We have ahead of us 4 fascinating days to share new data & discussions and to boost basic & translational research on #dendriticcells 25 top🌍speakers, 46 short talks, 200 posters, >300 attendees! support by @SEinmunologia @SCImmunologia @EuMacDcSoc

@sethmasters @ESIDsociety @BrodinPetter @BogunovicLab All’s well that ends well - safe trip to wherever you are heading next!

@ESIDsociety @BrodinPetter So happy my flight got cancelled and I got to see this talk by @BrodinPetter ! Fascinating insights into gender imbalances in autoimmunity. Other session speakers, @BogunovicLab and @Muzz_Haniffa made this a highlight of #ESID2024 !

How do we make sense of the human immune system’s complexity? @BrodinPetter presents how systems #immunology can break it down and make it more interpretable. If you’re curious about data-driven insights into immunity, join this session at #ESID2024!
