Congrats to @asmafarhat.bsky.social from the group of former #CeMM PI Sylvia Knapp (@knapplab.bsky.social), on successfully defending her PhD thesis entitled "From Bone to Breath: How hematopoietic aging shapes macrophage fate, function & lung fibrosis." Well done!! 🎓 👏 🎉 #phdlife #phdhat

#WeekendRead! #EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Peng Bai Marichal &co show @ Science Immunology that endothelial cells produce TGFb to differentiate monocytes into #lung interstitial macrophages preventing aging & fibrosis

Congrats to Sylvia Knapp and team on their new Science Immunology paper! They show how aged bone marrow drives lung fibrosis by sustaining profibrotic macrophages. Reduced T-reg IL-10 worsens healing, revealing key immune-aging links.

Huge congratulations to @mariemradhouani.bsky.social who spearheaded this brilliant and seminal study out now in Science Immunology @science.org !!

Lucky to have been a part of this team from @starkllab.bsky.social

Read more on Mariem's thread below!

Using a fibrosis model in young vs aged mice, Farhat and Knapp show that an aged bone marrow autonomously produced more profibrotic Mo-AMs, had a reduced availability of Tregs-derived IL-10 causing exacerbated lung fibrosis. [4/n]

Here, we go. Starting 2025 best lung papers. Will add as I go along and also updated on the blog.

Very cool (and surreal!) seeing my paper featured on the Science homepage www.science.org !! #ScienceImmunology

1/ Excited to share my first-ever first-author paper out now in Science Immunology! from @knapplab.bsky.social and co-supervised by @miershawig.bsky.social
We show that hematopoietic aging, independent of lung tissue aging, is sufficient to exacerbate fibrosis.

#macrophage #barcoding 🤯 Time to get rid of the "fetal liver monocyte" origin for resident macrophages?!? Congrats to the Rodewald lab for this work!
