🚀 Excited to announce the Immunometabolism Section in @ceijournal.bsky.social led by Dr Lizzy Rosser (UCL) A dedicated home for cutting-edge research exploring how metabolism shapes immune function in health and disease. Learn more: vist.ly/58wxd #Immunometabolism #Immunology

A new UK-led research group, including @ucl.ac.uk's Prof Lucy Wedderburn (@uclchildhealth.bsky.social), Prof Coziana Ciurtin & Dr Polly Livermore, aims to improve arthritis care by defining for the first time what remission truly means. Funded by £3m from Arthritis UK www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/de...

If you have 30 seconds pretty please could you vote for our research: 'Option 5. Sex differences in the immune system' at the link below! We truly appreciate your support!! 🔬🌟🙏🏻

Loving #BSI25, especially @ciurtinlab.bsky.social and @emmaschambers.bsky.social highlighting our paper in @jem.org is one of #ArthritisUK top research output of ‘25! If you have 5 minutes, give us a vote (number 5) below, sex differences in the immune system: www.arthritis-uk.org/our-research...

Thanks for the highlight @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social ! Bernard very happy you captured his good side 😺

When @hlpeks.bsky.social isn’t working in clinics with patients contributing to many studies in our department, you can find her behind a trolley of insects, fossils or gemstones 🐞🦖💎 at the natural history museum where she volunteers as a learning educator volunteer or hanging out with Bernard 🐈‍⬛

Sex hormones and chromosomes work in tandem to impact immune responses, with estrogen influencing class-switched memory B cell frequency exclusively in humans with an XX chromosomal background. From @hlpeks.bsky.social, @bcellsrosser.bsky.social, Coziana Ciurtin et al. rupress.org/jem/article/...

Did you know women may be naturally better at fighting certain infections than men? A UCL study funded by the Foundation finds women have a higher proportion of key immune cells between puberty & menopause. 💪🦠 Tune in to @bcellsrosser.bsky.social on BBC R4’s Inside Health to learn more!

And please give a listen to our research featured on BBC Radio 4's Inside Health show! Lucy and Lizzy did a wonderful job talking about our findings! (We're in the second half) @bcellsrosser.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Great coverage of the recent JEM paper by @hlpeks.bsky.social, @emmaschambers.bsky.social, @bcellsrosser.bsky.social, Coziana Ciurtin, and colleagues. See the original paper here: rupress.org/jem/article/...

Until menopause women have more key immune cells, which may explain why they're less prone to some infections than men, finds a @jem.org study from @arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social including Dr Hannah Peckham @hlpeks.bsky.social & Dr Lizzy Rosser @bcellsrosser.bsky.social www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/ma...

Congratulations @hlpeks.bsky.social great work. So important to understand sex differences in immunity

Thrilled to finally share our paper on how sex hormones and sex chromosomes interact to affect B cell class-switching!🥳 Diversity & inclusion in research recruitment = better science for all!😎 Thanks to @bcellsrosser.bsky.social@emmaschambers.bsky.social@arrdept-ucldom.bsky.social for ++ hard work!🌟
