Huge congratulations to @mariemradhouani.bsky.social who spearheaded this brilliant and seminal study out now in Science Immunology @science.org !! science.org/doi/10.1126/sciimmunol.adp6231 Lucky to have been a part of this team from @starkllab.bsky.social Read more on Mariem's thread below!

Eosinophil innate immune memory after bacterial skin infection promotes allergic lung inflammation

Staphylococcus aureus skin infection induces eosinophil innate immune memory to exacerbate allergen-induced airway inflammation.

I'm excited to share my first-author PhD paper, now out in Science Immunology! @science.org We show that S.aureus skin infection leaves a lasting imprint on bone marrow eosinophils, fueling allergic responses in the lungs. 📄 Read the full study: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Let’s dive in 🧵 1/9

Using a fibrosis model in young vs aged mice, Farhat and Knapp show that an aged bone marrow autonomously produced more profibrotic Mo-AMs, had a reduced availability of Tregs-derived IL-10 causing exacerbated lung fibrosis. [4/n] www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

An aging bone marrow exacerbates lung fibrosis by fueling profibrotic macrophage persistence

Hematopoietic aging drives lung fibrosis and profibrotic macrophage influx, stalling their maturation via reduced Treg-derived IL-10.
