Congratulations to @terminallycurious.bsky.social, Huang-lab MSTP student @CWRU, on her main thesis project!! Very happy we could help support her great story as our lab's first collaborative project. Turns out mechano-sensors are important in tumor-associated myeloid cells!

I am excited to share my work which demonstrates that deletion of PIEZO1 surprisingly enhances cross-priming in tumor-associated myeloid cells. Thank you to @tymillerlab.bsky.social for your critical collaboration and @sitcancer.bsky.social for publishing my story!

Piezo1 deletion enhances cross-priming of CD8+ T cells by tumor-infiltrating CD11b+ dendritic cells
Background Tumor-associated myeloid cells (TAMCs) are an abundant, phenotypically plastic cell population that is critical for initiating a robust antitumor response. To properly combat cancer cells, ...

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of defending my dissertation! Tumor immunology is been a challenging yet rewarding field that I hope to continue to make an impact in 🤓

Distrust in vaccines is a massive public health issue. Misinformation and disinformation are the reason we see so few getting vaccinated. Vaccines save lives!
CDC reports 216 child deaths in US this flu season, the most in 15 years
The flu vaccination rate for U.S. children has plummeted from about 64% five years ago to 49% this season.
