1/ Excited to share my first-ever first-author paper out now in Science Immunology! from @knapplab.bsky.social and co-supervised by @miershawig.bsky.social
We show that hematopoietic aging, independent of lung tissue aging, is sufficient to exacerbate fibrosis.

An aging bone marrow exacerbates lung fibrosis by fueling profibrotic macrophage persistence
Hematopoietic aging drives lung fibrosis and profibrotic macrophage influx, stalling their maturation via reduced Treg-derived IL-10.

How do NKT cells control epithelial cell biology and function in the small intestine ?

Thrilled to share my PhD work investigating the cytokine driven crosstalk between NKT cells and epithelial cells in the gut @barrallab.bsky.social
