First #faculty #interview is over, albeit with a nay. Great pleasure to discuss my science and meet the smart investigators at the Immunology Center of GA! Drs. Ley and Hedrick are building a fantastic team. Looking forward to find a new home for my ACS grant (~$1M, 4y, 10% #indirects). Stay tuned!

In this paper, we elucidate the roles of #extracellularvesicles (#EVs) in #cell #senescence, which is important in the context of tumor #recurrence after #chemotherapy.

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Another piece of the puzzle: oxysterols recruit B cells into tumors. More data more Q: are these recruited naive B cells the ones that suppress tumors or do B cells need to visit the lymph nodes first? #Bcells #cancer #inflammation
Inflammation switches the chemoattractant requirements for naive lymphocyte entry into lymph nodes
Sustained lymphocyte migration from blood into lymph nodes (LNs) is important for immune responses. The CC-chemokine receptor-7 (CCR7) ligand CCL21 is…

Check out this amazing manuscript from Dr. Keren. I fully empathize with the amount of work that goes into this kind of studies! A few thoughts after skimming it: I'd love to know if the organization of GCs into DZ and LZ differs between NN and NP, as we saw in our preprint;
