We mainly study type 2 immunity in asthma, but follow where biology takes us. Role of protein crystals in disease is our new thing.

Happy new year, this paper just made it for 2024. Thanks to hard efforts of all in the lab. A new way to select clones for generating TCR transgenic mice, no cloning involved doi.org/10.7554/eLife.98344 @eLife
Congrats @StijnVerwaerde for getting an EMDS prize. Stay tuned for his work on alveolar macrophages and transcriptional of their identity

Have a look at our new #preprint on @researchsquare: Early life RSV infection as a preventable risk factor for asthma researchsquare.com/article/r…
Contains epidemiology on entire Danish population, 24000 hospital admissions for RSV and causality experiments in mouse model
Our new story is out in JEM !
By recruiting Th2 effector cells, #basophils are back as key players in #asthma, according to Schuijs, Brenis Gomez et al. @bart_lambrecht lab @ugent: hubs.la/Q02QsRTJ0

We describe that Il-9 and Il-21 have partially overlapping and synergistic effects in asthma. Check out doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2024.…
Nice collab with @BenjaminMedoff in MGH and @argenxglobal Revive Il-9 !

Our experience with eLife new publishing model has been great. We’re working already on our next submission. youtu.be/MdUApzoelFY?si=umup…
Check out our new paper on protein crystals driving Th2 immunity doi.org/10.7554/eLife.90676 @eLife
A refreshing way of peer review at eLife. Authors can better control how many new experiments they want to do in response to comments raised, without fear of rejection.
This is so true, also for PIs
Out today in @NatureBiotech! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s41587-0……
@MartinJLercher
In 1 hour, I’m going to give a talk
#globalimmuno October 4th at 9am PST, noon EST, 4pm GMT
Title: “Protein crystals as drivers of immunity”
LINK: ucsd.zoom.us/j/91053505061
It’s about our newest work in type 2 immunity. All things crystals,….
Q&A after
This will be a fun project for a motivated student willing to work at the boundaries of cell biology, immunology and microbiology.
We're hiring! The Hendrix lab is recruiting a #PhD candidate funded by @ERC_Research to explore #ExtracellularVesicles in #cancer together with @bart_lambrecht. Interested to work on this exciting project @ugent @crighent @VIBLifeSciences ? Read & apply: ugent.be/en/work/scientific/…

Our new paper is out : A complement atlas identifies IL6–dependent alternative pathway dysregulation as a key druggable feature of COVID-19 | Science Translational Medicine science.org/doi/10.1126/scit… it has a very cool interactive website to mine the data !
Check out our new preprint on protein crystals in murine asthma. Fascinating that some proteins crystallize for a cause in type 2 immunity. dlvr.it/SrdnXr
