I am excited to share our latest paper. We profiled CD8+ TILs from HPV- HNSCC patients using scRNA/TCRseq. In addition, we performed an ex vivo stimulation of cells to capture their transcriptional response. 1/n

Type I Interferon Drives a Cellular State Inert to TCR‐Stimulation and Could Impede Effective T‐Cell Differentiation in Cancer
Multimodal single-cell RNA sequencing identified a population of CD8+ T cells elevated in tumor tissue enriched for interferon-stimulated genes (ISG). These ISG cells are clonally related to a popula...

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.

Domesticated animals have pulled our heavy carts and turned our large mills for centuries. But what about the opposite end of the spectrum—what if the wheel you want to turn is so small you can’t see it?

Turns out we can harness the power of bacteria to power the world’s smallest machines.

Using in vivo microscopy 🔬🐭, we discovered a new route for T cells to enter the brain via distinct peri-tumoral venous vessels.
