👇Super excited about this work. 👇 Our first proteome analysis of tumor-reactive T cells from non-small cell lung cancer lesions. We identify differentially expressed proteins that we would have missed with RNA-seq. We learned how CHD4 and FASN contribute to T cell differentiation and function.

Proteomics of human cancer-associated T cells identifies regulators of T cell functionality https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.08.18.745433v1

I am still kinda new on BlueSky. Interested in #IBD, #Tcells, #TCR ? I would kindly appreciate Reposts! :-) insight.jci.org/articles/vie...

Thank you for highlighting our work! CD4 T cell differentiation is a dynamic process, shaped by interaction with different antigen-presenting cells rather than fixed early programming. If you want to know more about it, please see below 👇🏼

Requirements for development of T helper 1 and T follicular helper cells from a common precursor @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

TCF1 is a master regulator of T cell stemness – but can it make exhausted cells go backwards? We setup a CRISPR KI system to ask this question, and the answer was unexpected. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ever wondered what happens if you remove Tfh cells from established germinal centres?

What a joy to host Michelle @linterman.bsky.social at the LUMC and spend more time together at the #NVVI!! She shared wonderful work on ectopic Germinal Centers in the lung (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...) and a new exciting story that I can't wait to see published soon!!

mTOR regulates translation of cytokines through AU-rich elements within their 3′UTR! Great new work from the @monikawolkers.bsky.social lab!

Monika Wolkers@monikawolkers.bsky.social · 10mo ago

👇See our newest study: What was supposed to be a control experiment uncovered a new function of mTOR: 3’mediated translation control in primary human T cells, mediated through DDX21. AU-rich elements are required for this effect. Happy reading! authors.elsevier.com/a/1mDFf3vVUP...

Germinal center B cells rely on ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 to control cell division and avoid replication stress that leads to apoptosis @sciimmunology.bsky.social @martint-babraham.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... @babrahaminst.bsky.social

🚨 New paper alert!! RNA-binding proteins ZFP36L1 & ZFP36L2 act as guardians of genome stability in fast-dividing germinal center B cells. A new mechanism showing how post-transcriptional control keeps our immune cells in check! #RNA #Bcells #GenomeStability www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Exciting news for the RNA research community! The Human RNome Project has been launched: a global effort to map all human RNAs and their chemical modifications. Proud to support it and contribute to the article in Genome Biology doi.org/10.1186/s130... #RNA #bioinformatics #RNAstructure #modomics

I am deeply honored and humbled to receive the 2025 KNAW Early Career Award from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences! 🌟 This recognition means a lot, especially as a scientist working on fundamental immunology. Grateful to everyone who has supported and inspired me along the way! 🙏🏼

Happy to share the first pre-print of the lab! 📢 💡Do you want to know how CD4 T cells decide their fate? We used a mouse vaccination model to trace endogenous polyclonal CD4 T cells on their journey towards Th1 or Tfh differentiation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Requirements for development of T-helper1 and T-follicular helper cells from a common precursor

Activated CD4 T cells become either T-helper (Th) or T-follicular helper (Tfh) cells that support cellular or humoral immunity. We have investigated how polyclonal, vaccine induced T cells in mice bif...

Just published and a very special thanks to Sarah, Bea, Ram and Louise for their dedication to this project. Also the Babraham facilities were outstanding and very engaged throughout this project.

We celebrate the first birthday of the lab! 🎂 Stay tuned for the great science we have in the pipeline 🎉

Always great to be at the EMBL! Looking forward to a full day of exciting science! #EMBLRBP
