📣 PhD project available 📣
Interested in immuno-matrix interactions and matrix regulation?
This project will investigate how hyaluronan is cleared from the lungs after infection. 🫁

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.

Finishing off a lovely few days with @dakinlabgroup.bsky.social in Oxford doing some tissue staining 💚 Thanks so much for hosting me Prof Dakin and Yao!
Wonderful to host @becky-dodd.bsky.social @ndorms.bsky.social this week! Thanks so much for your fantastic lecture sharing insights on immune regulation of hyaluronan in the lung during challenge 🤩 gorgeous work

It was a pleasure to write this piece on HPV immunisation as part of our #CelebrateVaccines series 💙 Now more than ever, it is critical that we share evidence based resources on vaccination to help people make informed decisions about their health 🦠💉🌍
Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women: bit.ly/4gDCdk5.

Thanks to the HPV vaccine, that’s changing.

2024 has been a fantastic year of lung/imm/mac papers with some critical insights on host/pathogenesis. I'm highlighting some papers that I found in this thread, perhaps we can build more immune niches on sky app with help of @rodrahimi.bsky.social who initiated discovery imm stack. 🧵 x/n. Let's go.

Injury From Nematode Lung Migration Induces an IL‐13‐Dependent Hyaluronan Matrix
A consistent feature of lung injury is a rapid and sustained accumulation of hyaluronan (HA). The rodent gut-dwelling nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) induces tissue damage as it migrates t....

Skipping over to blue sky with happy news - the new pre-print from @drtesutherland.bsky.social lab is online now. Immune cells, matrix (🩷) and more. So grateful to be involved - huge effort from the lead authors - especially @james-ep.bsky.social 👏
