Pre-print alert! And this one really is a must read for anyone that does spectral #flowcytometry. It is a complete, fully-automated spectral unmixing pipeline that reduces error up to 9000-fold.

Want to get a tough sample, like lung, looking like this? Read more!

A huge honour to be a recipient of the Delphine Parrott award and give a memorial lecture. Delphine was the 1st female professor at the University of Glasgow and a groundbreaking immunologist. Also great to be introduced by Allan Mowatt as an honorary Scot! @immunememorylab.bsky.social

A great afternoon celebrating the award of our MRC CoRE in person. We heard about projects spanning our discovery pipeline, from ExWAS and mechanistic barrier immunology, to potential therapeutic angles for IBD and machine learning for diagnostics.

Allergen-induced airway matrix remodeling in mice can be prevented or reversed by targeting chitinase-like proteins
Allergic airway matrix remodeling occurs independently of IL-13 and IL-17A and is driven instead by chitinase-like proteins.
