Here's the Research Briefing for our @NatImmunol paper on "dirty" mouse lung ILC2 - a short summary for a broad audience and a "behind the scenes" look at the project:

There's also a News & Views written by Dr. Umetsu: nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

Pet store biome exposure impairs lung ILC2/eosinophilia vs i.n. allergens via incr. IFN signaling, but this waned with longer co-housing. Thus ILC2 respond dynamically to environmental cues @Katharine_Block @Jamequistlab

I’ll pop back on here with more details once I recover from the @autumnimmuno conference!

How does natural microbial exposure influence ILC2 responses toward airway allergens? See our story in @NatImmunol to find out! This project is a collaboration between @Jamequistlab of @CFI_UMN and Kita lab of @MayoClinic

Kris will be delivering tomorrow's @globalimmuno talk! So listen in and ask her your questions afterwards (@Jamequistlab)
@CFI_UMN
Kris @JamequistLab is an incredible scientist and such a thoughtful and kind person. I've been lucky to get to learn from her throughout my postdoc. Congratulations Dr. Hogquist! 🥳
We are so delighted to announce that Kris has been named to the @theNASciences! Congratulations Kris!

With great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Matthew Mescher. Matt retired in 2015 but continued to be a valued member of CFI. He will be sorely missed & fondly remembered for his leadership & contributions to science. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
The snowflakes were a bit hit! I saw them on Twitter last year - can’t remember who’s tweet I originally saw, but you can get the templates here: gla.ac.uk/media/Media_765622…
Cookie decorating and snowflake/virus making! Happy holidays from the Jamequist Lab!
Jamequist lab yule party! Thanks for putting it together @Katharine_Block @ChezMaude
Officially published today! Excited to get my hands on a physical copy of my paper 📰
“Dirty mice” as preclinical vaccine testing model: @JessicaFiegePhD @Katharine_Block @Masopust_Vezys @LangloisLab show natural microbial exposure of mice induces post-vaccination signatures that are more similar to humans cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…
Our paper in @cellhostmicrobe is now online! We propose that mice with diverse microbial history make a better preclinical model for evaluating vaccines. 💉🐁🦠 @JessicaFiegePhD @LangloisLab @Masopust_Vezys @Sathi_W @willmatchett
