.@benjbroom, Groom et al. show that early type I interferon blockade alters CXCR3 chemokine regulation and cell location to promote an antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell transition of precursor of exhausted T cells to stem cell–like memory CD8+ T cells https://t.co/8PpTR44JOK

@BrigDoesScience from @WEHI_research kicked off the last oral presentation session of the day 🙌 Sharing a great story investigating where memory CD8+ T cells and their friends "hang out" in the lymph node using a mouse model @The_VIIN #YoungVIIN #VIINYIS

1/ 🚨 Hot off the press! 🚨Our new paper, led by @ObersAndreas & @maxevrard, is now live in @ImmunityCP! 🧬 Curious how CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells (TRM) adopt their fate in different organs? Let’s dive in! 🧵👇 https://t.co/vcgpgMgBcZ

Guys! I've opened my independent research lab 🎊 Incredibly excited to stress out a bunch of cells and see what cytokines they make 🔬👩🏻🔬🧫 And delighted that I'll be working with so many of my #Inflammation research hero's @Hudson_Research

Thrilled to have this story out online @ImmunityCP!! Together with @SunLab_Official, we highlight how dietary fasting improves NK cell anti-tumor immunity and examine the tissue-specific processes that drive these improved responses 🧵 https://t.co/QpyLoMqHoH

Dietary restriction is associated with improved elimination of cancer cells, and fasting regimens are being tested in clinical settings in combination with cancer therapies. Using a cyclic fasting...
