Online now: Online now: The endogenous antigen-specific CD8+ T cell repertoire is composed of unbiased and biased clonotypes with differential fate commitments
The endogenous antigen-specific CD8+ T cell repertoire is composed of unbiased and biased clonotypes with differential fate commitments
The polyclonal CD8+ T cell response to a single antigen is the average of several hundred individual T cell clonotypes. Abdullah et al. demonstrate that most clonotypes exhibit TCR-intrinsic differentiation biases toward memory or effector fates and are…

Excited to share our single-cell study on aging mouse brain! We found 2,449 cell-type specific age-DE genes, and an aging hotspot in specific hypothalamic cell types involved in energy homeostasis, which show both decreased neuronal function and increased immune response. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering.

Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive.

Any others you know?

39 rotations around the sun! And what a year it's been. The lab has doubled in size. We had our first (3!!!) graduate students and post docs join the lab. We had both our first and second lab papers EVER accepted - the first is out in print... so check it out -(journals.aai.org/jimmunol/art...).

I created a simple flow chart to help my lab trainees choose the most appropriate stats test in Prism (*for single-factor comparisons only). Feel free to share with your group if you think it could be helpful first start.
