Lovely to see the imaging by @lizihegarty.bsky.social making the front cover of @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social. Instead is our work on #macrophage heterogeneity & dynamics in health & inflammation. We also did a short podcast to discuss the main findings. @edinuni-irr.bsky.social @uofgsii.bsky.social

The February issue of MI is online now, and featuring imaging from @bainlab.bsky.social and @lizihegarty.bsky.social on the cover www.mucosalimmunology.org/issue/S1933-...

I am delighted to see this work published. A big thanks to everyone, particularly the excellent supervision of @lyons-lab.bsky.social, the work of co-first author @juliavdkorput.bsky.social and wonderful collaborators in Amsterdam and Oregon. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Myelin sheaths in the central nervous system can withstand damage and dynamically remodel

Myelin damage is a hallmark of several neurological disorders, but how it occurs remains to be fully understood. In this study, we found that early damage in zebrafish and rodent demyelination models ...

Our latest preprint, led by @lizihegarty.bsky.social & aided by @erinwatson.bsky.social shows that fixation time matters when it comes to visualising #macrophages in #salivarygland & other epithelia.We find 1hr allows detection of mac subsets while preserving architecture.

Fixation matters: duration in fixative prior to immunofluorescent analysis directly impacts macrophage visualisation in epithelial tissues https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.13.705745v1

Latest from the lab, led by @ara-donia.bsky.social and @juliavdkorput.bsky.social Huge team effort, with immense contributions by friends from nearby and around the globe. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Do tissue resident #macrophages survive through intestinal #inflammation? Are they terminally differentiated or can they adapt? @lizihegarty.bsky.social asked these Qs during her @wellcometrust.bsky.social PhD and her findings are now published @mucosalimmunol.bsky.social @edinuni-irr.bsky.social
