My lab dissects the human T cell repertoire targeting tumor and self-antigens. Learning from nature, we aim to engineer improved immunotherapies.

Researchers in @scisignal discovered a signaling mechanism that prevents T helper 17 cells from adopting pathogenic states linked to autoimmunity, potentially informing future efforts to treat autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Learn more on #WorldMSDay: scim.ag/4uxwR19

Bianchi et al find that the FCRL3 receptor is expressed upon repetitive activation of human memory T lymphocytes & limits their responses via inhibitory pathways. This study identifies FCRL3 as a regulator of highly differentiated memory T cells in humans hubs.la/Q03NJZc10

This year’s medicine laureate Shimon Sakaguchi discovered a new class of T cells. Sakaguchi was swimming against the tide in 1995, when he made a key discovery. At the time, many researchers were convinced that immune tolerance only developed due to potentially harmful immune cells being eliminated in the thymus, through a process called central tolerance. Sakaguchi showed that the immune system is more complex and discovered a previously unknown class of immune cells, which protect the body from autoimmune diseases. #NobelPrize

@OdedRechavi Very cool! Is it possible to run it locally to maintain confidentiality over partially formed ideas?

Our new #organoid #organchip #coculture review. Congrats @_KamilMoskal, @Yeseul700lee, Luisa Siegert, Nimisha Khurana from @EMIL_DKFZ @DKFZ! Cool experience connecting the dots between in organotypic models and microbiome with @HansClevers and @EranElinav!
Kamil Moskal@_KamilMoskal

Do you want to study #cancer #microbe interactions using #organoids and #organ #chips? Have a look at our guide to in vitro co-culture platforms, just out in @IntJCanc with @HansClevers @EranElinav @JensPuschhof and my fellow @EMIL_DKFZ colleagues: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ij…

Top 4 misconceptions about science 1. It fills knowledge-gaps (discoveries are unknown unknowns) 2. It proceeds along a straightforward path (discoveries are not predictable) 3. It looks for answers (new questions are crucial) 4. It is only rational (requires night science leaps)
