Extremely proud to share this latest work from my lab @TsinghuaSIGS in @ScienceAdvances on understanding #MAIT cell recruitment in appendicitis using #organoids! 100x thanks to our collab Shaohua Ma, & to Yichao, @faye__han, Zhengyu for their dedication! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Why do some people succumb to severe respiratory diseases? Our study at @CellCellPress defines how OLAH, a key fatty acid enzyme, drives severe respiratory viral infections @KatherineKedz @chua_brendon @theJCClab @TheDohertyInst cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Review: MAIT cell homing to the gut in health and disease provides insights to guide therapeutic development for intestinal inflammation @ScienceAdvances @ELeeansyah science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Happy to share our #MAIT lab @TsinghuaSIGS latest review on our favourite cell homing in intestinal homeostasis and inflammation! @ScienceAdvances science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Happy to share our latest findings out today in @PNASNews by @C_Boulouis showing how human mucosal-associated invariant T (#MAIT) cells rapidly adapt their functional response profile to cues in the microenvironment pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @karolinskainst @CIM_Sweden #immunology
Latest paper from lab, where Awad et al describe how cigarette smoke impacts that MAIT-MR1 axis and implications for lung diseases. In collaboration with Fairlie, Hansbro and Corbett labs doi.org/10.1084/jem.20… @MonashBDI @nhmrc @WaelAwadMoh @MonashUni @Jamie_Rossjohn @JExpMed

It was a great weekend in HK at the 1st Greater Bay Area symposium on #uncoventional T cells! 😎 Thank you for the organisers for the kind invitation and for the excellent symposium hosted by @CUHKofficial! We the #MAITs from @TsinghuaSIGS had a nice time learning and connecting
Had a great week at the #ChineseSocietyforImmunology conference in Hangzhou! Let the love for #MAIT and #unconventional T cells spread 😎
Truly honored to be part of the Cell Press 50th birthday celebration!
In our Q&A with #50ScientistsThatInspire immunologist Dr. Xiaoyu Hu, she encourages young scientists to be fearless in their research and emphasizes the need to address gender inequality in science. #CP50 Read the full interview: cell.com/news-do/50-ins…
First dinner of the semester with my lab #MAITs @TsinghuaSIGS 😎
Happy to have a small contribution to this @SciImmunology paper on tissue site adaptation of resident #MAIT cell based on multiple human tissues from organ donors! 😎 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

With all these aurora sightings going on, here is a pic of #AuroraAustralis (southern lights) my brother took last night in Melbourne. Must have been a strong geomagnetic storm to be able to see from Melb’s latitude! Photo credit to my brother.
Imagine growing a miniature version of the human intestine in the lab to study gut biology in great detail and test medicines before clinical trials? We are happy to share our latest publication on bioengineered human mini-intestines: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S19… Let’s dive in!
