After a long journey, have made it to Melbourne for the world pharmacology congress. Grateful for the invitation and looking forward to presenting some of labs work later in the week #WCP2026

If anyone is looking for something to do in Aberdeen this weekend come along to our Immunology escape room! Some time slots still available www.abdn.ac.uk/events/23501/

Immunology Escape Room - can you access the vaccine protocols before time runs out?

Join our researchers at Aberdeen Science Centre for an exciting Escape Room Experience.

We're looking for a Lead Scientist to join Flow Cytometry Centre in Aberdeen! Fantastic opportunity to deliver services, work with varied research groups, promote cytometry and further develop the facility. Aberdeen is a great place to live/work- APPLY NOW www.abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/cyto...

A new study from @drtesutherland.bsky.social (@uniofaberdeen.bsky.social) suggests future asthma treatments could reverse lung damage. Funded by @medresfdn.bsky.social + @asthmaandlung.org.uk, this research may transform care for asthma + other fibrosis-linked diseases.💡 📖➡️ https://bit.ly/4mHTOKq

Research points to new treatment target for asthma

A new way to treat asthma symptoms and even repair previously irreversible lung damage could be on the horizon following the discovery of a potential new therapeutic target by Foundation-funded Dr Tara Sutherland and a team of scientists at the University of Aberdeen.

Exciting work by @drtesutherland.bsky.social! #ScienceImmunology uncovers chitinase like proteins as key drivers of airway ECM remodeling, blocking Ym1 can reverse it! #Immunology #RespiratoryResearch #SciOpen #TUP

Tara Sutherland@drtesutherland.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Extremely happy to see our work out in #ScienceImmunology. We show allergen-induced ECM remodelling occurs independently of IL-13 or IL-17 driven inflammation. Rather chitinase-like proteins drive airway ECM accumulation & inhibition of Ym1 can remarkably reverse it. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Allergen-induced airway matrix remodeling in mice can be prevented or reversed by targeting chitinase-like proteins

Allergic airway matrix remodeling occurs independently of IL-13 and IL-17A and is driven instead by chitinase-like proteins.

Now in #Science #Immunology, @drtesutherland.bsky.social & al report chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) make distinct contributions to airway pathology independent of #IL13- & #IL17 –mediated signaling in 🐀 #asthna model! CLPs orchestrate airway #ECM remodeling, & can be both protective & detrimental!
