The European Iron Club Meeting #EIC2026 programme is live. Dublin | 18–20 June Iron biology across scales -plus a Guinness twist 🍺 www.eic-2026.com/programme

At #Bioiron impromptu dinner with 26 people at a wonder Persian Restaurant in Montreal with @hosseinardehali.bsky.social @suzcloo.bsky.social @manciaslab.bsky.social @ironresearchlab.bsky.social

Congratulations to Dr @lynnefaherty.bsky.social on the successful defense of her Thesis last Friday! Can’t wait to see what you do next Dr Faherty!

#WeekendRead! #EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Peng Bai Marichal &co show @ Science Immunology that endothelial cells produce TGFb to differentiate monocytes into #lung interstitial macrophages preventing aging & fibrosis www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Endothelial-driven TGFβ signaling supports lung interstitial macrophage development from monocytes

Endothelial Tgfβ1 shapes the development and functional identity of lung interstitial macrophages.

Very productive visit from ERC President Maria Leptin - on the same page as our Taoiseach and Minister for Science when it comes to the need for increased funding for science in Ireland and Europe and ERC independence

Maria Leptin@marialep.bsky.social · 2y ago

Back in Dublin - and what a warm welcome! Valuable in-depth conversation with @micheal-martin.bsky.social. Thanks Taoiseach for your support! Also much enjoyed meeting minister @LawlessJ. Glad to see we have shared priorities. And huge thanks to Luke O’Neill!

Macrophage peroxisomes guide alveolar regeneration and limit SARS-CoV-2 tissue sequelae

Peroxisomes are vital but often overlooked metabolic organelles. We found that excessive interferon signaling remodeled macrophage peroxisomes. This loss of peroxisomes impaired inflammation resolutio...
