My PhD on bone marrow inflammation in #myeloma has finally come to an end! Thesis written and distributed and I will be defending a week from now!
Very ready to go ahead full throttle on a new chapter in my career

Terrific work from @jelenalab.bsky.social and Fabian Fischer on controlling cell death. Fantastic to see this out!
The loss of TBK1, or both TBK1 and the related kinase IKKε, results in uncontrolled cell death–driven inflammation. We show that TBK1/IKKε prevent premature cell death by limiting the activity of multiple death pathways in myeloid cells. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Super proud of my friend Sabrin @sabtahri.bsky.social, whose final (and terrific) PhD work came out today in #Blood (in collab with group of Niels vd Donk)
It demonstrates an association between BM CD16+ NK cells and response to dara!

Reese Witherspoon became a billionaire and people are cheering and congratulating her on being a hugely talented business woman.
I feel people do not realise that money is a limited thing. Billionaires (skilled or not, it doesn’t matter) are hoarding the resource.

What I find so brilliant about the haematopoiesis is that it takes place in a piece of tissue (bone) that already fulfils another role (holding up the meat sack).

Getting a bit tired of the inflation of importance of the physician-scientist. And I say that as someone who went to med school once upon a time.
Acting like they’re the most important being in research sells basic biologists, far stronger in bench lab skills, way short.

Tumours escape the immune system by mutating to decrease their immunogenicity. In this study, now in

Losing sensitivity to IFNγ may contribute to tumor immune escape, but containment of IFNγ-insensitive tumors is also reported. Here the authors show, by analyzing immune landscape differences between ...

#EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell!💥Thrilled for the final version of our paper @cp-cell.bsky.social! We show that type III #interferons control ZBP1 activation driving gasdermin C cleavage & delaying gut repair by inducing #pyroptosis in intestinal epithelial cells! 1/n www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...
Type III interferons induce pyroptosis in gut epithelial cells and impair mucosal repair
Intestinal damage following colitis or irradiation induces type III interferons (IFNs), which delay the healing of the intestinal epithelium. IFN-λ directs the sensing of Z-form nucleic acids generated during gut injury and repair, triggering cell death and altering healthy epithelial regeneration.

Double mutant DNMT3A AML: a unique subtype experiencing increased DNA damage and poor prognosis
Key Points. 1. Wildtype DNMT3A enhances TDG-mediated repair, whereas mutant DNMT3A impairs this process.2. Double mutant DNMT3A AML exhibits increased DNA

Maybe my parents would finally understand what I do
Hear me out - a show about a science department following PIs, postdocs and grad students👩🎓👨🎓. I think it would be at least as entertaining as all these medical shows (i know there would be a lot of comedy material 😅). (TBBT does not count; the Chair was awesome but sci academia has more shenanigans!)
