Innate immune-mediated repair in the mammalian lung 🫁 🐁
The Lung GRS was breathtaking in more ways that one 🤩 and the GRC opening talks were incredible! Very much looking forward to the next week 😎

🎉 Over the moon to share the first paper from my lab!! We discovered an unexpected role for the cytokine OSM in lung epithelial homeostasis and repair. 🧵 1/n www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Macrophage-derived oncostatin M repairs the lung epithelial barrier during inflammatory damage
Tissue repair programs must function alongside antiviral immunity to restore the lung epithelial barrier following infection. We found that macrophage-derived oncostatin M (OSM) counteracted the patho...

First post on here will be me mysteriously celebrating the last experiment before the holiday break being a wild success. Trust that y’all will see eventually… 👀
