Now out in final form @NatureComms, our recent study reveals how #mastcells can combine PAMP sensing and effector-triggered immunity to differentiate btwn extracellular and invasive enterobacteria. @CvonBeek et al shows you how

Was so much fun to meet old and new friends at the Alp Sellamatt retreat the last few days! And the first proper group trip in a long time. Thanks a lot for organizing @baerboletta and colleagues. @lab_maier @PascaleVonaesch, @Diard_Lab, @Sigientist, @BMisselwitz, #HardtLab
In case you wonder what I was doing the last 4.5 years 📄👨🏻🔬
#Mastcells can combine PAMP sensing with effector triggered immunity and thereby differentiate their response btwn extracellular and invasive #enterobacteria. Thats what the recent findings by @CvonBeek et al tell us. Check out the @biorxivpreprint here:

Join us! :)
Opportunity!: Fully funded #postdoc position open in our lab. We seek a candidate to combine live cell imaging with enteroid/colonoid models of gut bacterial infection. Sample papers & movies below.
RT appreciated. Apply through link until April 5th.

Is the paper you need stuck behind a paywall?

Many people out there have no clue what a researcher is doing (survey by @vetenskapoallm). #scicomm is relevant – and it’s fun!
Thanks @evagaresp & @hugogdtc for an amazing course #SciCommUU21, and @GOrizaola for curing my anxiety of using #SocialMedia for science communication!
I proudly present, in collaboration between Uppsala Biobank, @Akademiska_Nytt , Gunnar Pejler and @SellinLab and empowered by @barncancerfond:
We uncovered the effect of low level dynamin inhibition on childhood leukemia cells! (1)

Our microscope 🔬
This is my main workhorse! 🐎 It's nicknamed "FrankenScope" since it, like Victor Frankenstein's monster, is made from individual parts (i.e. it's not all one system). This monster also similarly runs on electricity... #amalgamation #scicommUU21
Microinjecting sparkles of joy/Salmonella!
During my PhD @SellinLab, I have familiarized myself with the beauty (and the technical challenges) of enteroid microinjection and applied the model to study the epithelial infection cycle of #Salmonella.
Curious? Read the paper here: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Below a cool teaser of what the microscopy setup from our latest preprint can do. Here, a Salmonella bacterium (arrow) divides on the surface of human intestinal cells. It then invades, and the epithelial cell reacts by instantly killing itself.
A well-designed gift for a good colleague
Another fun collaboration with @ErixonEriksson. This time on a #ScienceArt project. Here a #TTSS inspired vase to celebrate @AnjeelaBhetwal master thesis completion @SellinLab! #CreativeTeam

Listen to @ASMicrobiology discussing our latest paper!
Thanks @ASMicrobiology for discussing our recent work @SellinLab on #Salmonella #enteroid #infection in TWiM podcast!

Kicking off 2021 with our latest work on the #Salmonella #infection cycle in #enteroids (gut #organoids). 3D microinjection studies require inventiveness, precision & persistence. Luckily, our PhD student Petra Geiser has them all on lock. @mbiojournal.

Thanks a lot @strategiskaSSF for making this #popular #science short film to answer the question "What is it that you guys do all day, really?"
