A single-cell framework identifies functionally and molecularly distinct multipotent progenitors in adult human hematopoiesis
Ediriwickrema et al. conducted a systematic evaluation of human bone marrow cells and provide an updated model of adult hematopoiesis, which includes distinct, immunophenotypically defined, multipoten...

Happy to share a preprint from the Angelo lab many years in the making. Read on for a saga of multiplexed imaging, immunometabolism, and TB granulomas with some fun side quests into the realms of geographical information sciences and transcriptomics… (1/20) doi.org/10.1101/2025...
The immunometabolic topography of tuberculosis granulomas governs cellular organization and bacterial control
Despite being heavily infiltrated by immune cells, tuberculosis (TB) granulomas often subvert the host response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and support bacterial persistence. We prev...

Excited to post my first #skySplain about our recent work published yesterday in Nature Genetics! www.nature.com/articles/s41.... One of the first authors of this study - Annika Vannan – actually wrote this breakdown, but she's not yet over here on bluesky and asked me to post!
Spatial transcriptomics identifies molecular niche dysregulation associated with distal lung remodeling in pulmonary fibrosis - Nature Genetics
Xenium spatial transcriptomic profiling of pulmonary fibrosis characterizes cell composition dynamics and histopathological features associated with the disease.

I’m super excited to share what I’ve been working on for the last (many) years: a spatial + genomic + transcriptomic characterization of how the breast cancer microenvironment evolves through immunotherapy! (1/x) 🧪🧬 🖥️ #AcademicSky #MLSky #ImmunoSky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Temporal and spatial composition of the tumor microenvironment predicts response to immune checkpoint inhibition
Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has fundamentally changed cancer treatment. However, only a minority of patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) benefit from ICI, and the deter...
