It’s a #gdTcell flavored #MucosalMonday! @saraalonsomera.bsky.social & I chat about the magic of our favorite cell type and our recent paper elucidating the role of the microbiota in driving gd IEL regulatory function on this month’s @societymucosalimm.bsky.social podcast.

It’s #MucosalMonday and time for the latest @societymucosalimm.bsky.social podcast episode! This episode features gamma delta T cell work in MI from @edelblumlab.bsky.social; and an interview with @ashu-mangalam.bsky.social on microbial dysbiosis during #MutlipleSchlerosis

@repdangoldman.bsky.social, please draw attention to & speak up against political appointees in place of civil servants for #NIH Institute Directors. This is just the next tactic to prevent us from making advances and curing disease. #standupforscience
A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions.

Great night out at #NYC @crohnscolitisfdn.bsky.social #TakeStepsWalk with the lab! The Mount Sinai IBD Center raised almost $2,500 for #IBD research. Bonus: I met Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds (both very nice) on the ferry ride home! @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social

Thank you @edelblumlab.bsky.social for being an amazing mentor and thank you @nbgolovchenko.bsky.social for being the best colleague and friend I could have asked for 😊. These past 5 years have been incredible and I'm excited for what's to come!
There are few things better than celebrating milestones with your wonderful mentees! Congrats to @saraalonsomera.bsky.social & @nbgolovchenko.bsky.social on their graduation today. These two started during #COVID lockdown, moved to #NYC and will have made lasting contributions to the #gdTcell field🤩

#Bluetorial: In our latest paper on #gdTcells and #IBD in #ScienceImmunology we found that γδ IEL number and regulatory function are severely compromised BEFORE ileal inflammation occurs, suggesting that γδ IELs may maintain IEL homeostasis in response to a pro-inflammatory microenvironment. 1/n
