Friends, it's fun to see the #immunology community continue to grow! I created a 4th Starter Pack to help folks find each other. If you're an immunologist and you don't see yourself on the lists, let me know 🧪

Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network

Below are the links

If you're an immunologist and I have missed you so far, let me know 🧪

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here.

The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added

This is a catastrophe. While Finland has downgraded the MDPI and Frontiers journals to level 0 (meaning these publications are not recognized for research evaluation purposes), Germany has signed an agreement to promote publications in MDPI journals.

A new compelling study demonstrating that so-called “M2” macrophages, often simply classified by the surface marker CD206, are actually essential in orchestrating anti-tumor responses. This negates previous studies referring to CD206+ macs as only immunosuppressive.
