@drjonlim.bsky.social & @reisesousalab.bsky.social show cDC1s & DNGR1 favor "tethered" neoantigens from F-actin proteins, trapping them in necrotic debris for better cross-presentation! Calls for prioritizing these neoantigens for cancer vaccine design #Immunotherapy www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very grateful to Prof. Blander & Dr. Jha for a thoughtful @natimmunol.nature.com 𝘕𝘦𝘸𝘴 & 𝘝𝘪𝘦𝘸𝘴 piece on our work 🙏

📄 A clear & critical perspective that places our findings in the broader context of dendritic cell biology, cross-presentation, and tumour immunoediting.

Thrilled to announce that my postdoc, Chongbo (Bob) Yang, is a Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Research Fellows Awardee! Meticulous to the core, Bob turns "impossible" into "inevitable" breakthroughs. Bob investigates DC response to RIPK3-driven inflammatory cell death. @crohnscolitisfdn.bsky.social

Good news shouldn’t wait, but it’s been a hectic work-heavy summer. I am delighted and honored to be among the Kenneth Rainin Foundation 2025 Innovator Award Grantees. Thank you to @krfoundation.org for supporting our work.

Thrilled to see two of my former postdocs, @gaetanbarbet.bsky.social ‬⁩ and Johan Garaude, shining on the speaker list at the @frenchdcsociety.bsky.social Biennial Meeting, @pasteur.fr ! Proud of their amazing work and contributions to the field! #Dendriticcell #ProudMentor

Working with a great team to organize @keystonesymposia.bsky.social “Inflammation Resolution: Emerging Concepts, Mechanisms, and Disease Insights” in Whistler, May 17-20 2026. SAVE THE DATE. Join us! keysym.us/KSInflammati... #KSInflammation26 #inflammation #inflammationresolution #cancer

Also: Loving the collaboration between Johan Garaude @immunoconcept @inserm.fr and Leif Sander @sanderlab.bsky.social on this work. Johan and Leif met in my lab and have been friends and collaborators since (I’ll just say a while ago). Brings a smile to my face!

Thrilled for Johan Garaude’s @inserm.fr new work in Nature! I’m proud to see this Blander lab alumnus shine. His group shows bacterial cAMP accumulation signals death, fueling macrophage recycling—a fresh live-vs-dead immune twist. Stellar work with huge impact! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Vita-PAMP bacterial mRNA+LPS in sterile tissue = potentially dangerous live bacteria, & like virulence factors, activate the noncanonical NLRP3 inflammasome. Find out the common & distinct features of activating this pathway by a vita-PAMP vs virulence factor:

Grateful to have our newly published work in Nature Immunology highlighted by @weillcornell.bsky.social. Honored to contribute to the amazing research happening here.

Macrophages help tumors grow, but what about early on when transformed cells first arise in tissue? Macrophages may collaborate with the cell-intrinsic barriers to transformation in a form of ‘oncogenic monitoring’. Curious? My hypothesis full text here till 2/15

Ever wonder if the innate immune system protects against cancer in premalignancy? My lab reports that the inflammasome in bone marrow stroma suppresses Ras in preleukemic stem cells restraining lymphomagenesis.
