Immunology PhD student in the Cantrell lab, University of Dundee 👩🏼‍🔬🔎 investigating how proteins are synthesised, degraded and recycled under metabolic stress in cytotoxic T cells
extremely common experience of women getting their husbands/boyfriends into parkrun. think we managed about 5 parkruns together before Dan started beating me 😆
My husband did his third ever parkrun this morning. He needed quite a bit of encouragement to keep going, but as soon as he saw the finish line he zoomed off into the distance and beat me by a good 10 seconds. Sickening 😆

For my immunology followers, the cantrell lab is on bluesky. Applied proteomics, immunometabolism, T cells, protein degradation, signalling what more could you ask for?

I am overjoyed to present our latest paper on Autophagy in CD8 Tcells!
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
It was, as all ‘sciencing’ is, a huge team effort.

I will try to do it some justice in the following thread 😊 1/n

Autophagy repression by antigen and cytokines shapes mitochondrial, migration and effector machinery in CD8 T cells - Nature Immunology
Sinclair et al. combine quantitative proteomics and an autophagy flux reporter to map autophagy substrates and triggers during CD8 T cell differentiation. Proteins degraded and fueled by autophagy in ...

Yay!! It's finally out! I know how much hard work has gone into this paper from our lab, especially by @lindavsinclair.bsky.social. Excited about how all this cool new knowledge is now informing my PhD project too. 🥳

The Vic Soc is calling on @ealingcouncil.bsky.social to put a Building Preservation Order on East Lodge at Lammas Park, Ealing. We are also objecting to the unnecessary demolition of this lodge which makes such a positive contribution to the local area. Make Objections here: bit.ly/4bdfI4c

haven't worked out who keeps doing these drawings in our tea room, but I love them for it ☺️

Beautiful setting for this morning's parkrun at West Links in Arbroath. Beach on one side, trains going by on the other... two of my favourite things. All we need next time is a blue sky 🌞

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Our sweet doggy is feeling very sorry for herself since she hurt her leg and can't walk or play. So she'll be getting the puppy burrito treatment all weekend ❤️

It may be a bit "inside baseball," but I'm wildly excited about the promise of palaeoproteomics -- not quite as much info as DNA, but can give us info from millions of years ago. This new paper out today shows they were able to figure out biological sex of an A. africanus specimen (2-3.5myo). 🏺🧪
In a 1st, ancient proteins reveal sex of human relative from 3.5 million years ago
Researchers have extracted ancient proteins from australopithecine fossils and determined whether they were male or female — a first for human evolution studies.
