Many thanks to the LEO Foundation (@LEOFondet) for supporting our work on the cell biology of skin immune cells!
The LEO Foundation awards DKK 44 million to 12 pioneering skin research projects. Dive into the projects of three of our grantees – @Ole_B_Pedersen, Rebecca Deprez-Poulain and @WeiTaoLab – and get an overview of all 12 projects 👉

Thanks for the amazing visit to @RiceUniversity @gliainmymind Looking forward to all the great things to come from your lab!
So excited to host @jraslab @RiceUniversity next week! The fantastic aquatic models community in Houston is looking forward to Jeff’s visit and learning about skin regeneration in zebrafish!

Never underestimate the mood-elevating power of a totally unexpected, unsolicited word of sincere praise for someone who might need it than they even realize. It could be a paper you read, a talk you attended, a podcast you listened to. Write a short note. Make their day.

Latest preprint from the lab! Our work implicates ROCK signaling as a key modulator of Langerhans cell morphology, dynamics, and plasticity in response to various types of skin damage. Check out @errricpeterman’s movie of Lifeact-GFP in a Langerhans cell 👇 https://t.co/bIMpzCOdoh
