Exciting News: Our Paper is Published! 🎉 I’m thrilled to share that our paper, RIPK1 ablation in T cells results in spontaneous enteropathy and TNF-driven villus atrophy, is now officially published in EMBO Reports!

🚨Excited to share our new review in @FrontImmunol on #TCellDevelopment in the #thymus across space and time. From multipotent progenitor seeding, to commitment, differentiation, selection checkpoints, and atrophy! @VIBLifeSciences @InflamResCen @yBIS_BE frontiersin.org/journals/immun…
🎉 Exciting news! I am delighted to share that the main core of my PhD is finally available online: "TL1A and IL-18 synergy promotes GM-CSF-dependent thymic granulopoiesis in mice"! Do you wanna know more about thymis granulopoiesis?🚀 nature.com/articles/s4142… Open thread 👇🧵
TL1A and IL-18 synergism induce acute thymus atrophy while promoting extramedullary thymic granulopoiesis in a NOTCH and GM-CSF-controlled manner @P_Tougaard @MarioRuizPrez1 nature.com/articles/s4142…
🎉 Excited to share the team's latest publication in @SpringerNature @CDDpress! Thrilled to have been part of this big effort. @InflamResCen RIPK1 protects naive and regulatory T cells from TNFR1-induced apoptosis nature.com/articles/s4141…
Super proud of this paper! We show that the thymus is more than a T cell producer, and during type 1 immunity can produce peripheral homing ILC1s! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Super proud supervisor! To see my first PhD student, Jelle, defending his PhD in such an excellent fashion. Well done, Jelle!! 🥳👏👌

Endspurt! Last chance to submit your abstract to the Tissue Homeostasis&Immunity #NK and #ILC meeting, few last spots available, register TODAY @ nk-symposium.org
(1/12) 🚨 For all DC lovers out there, 📢our paper on homeostatic dendritic cell maturation is finally out! @SciImmunology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… In this paper we're shedding light on the poorly understood process of homeostatic DC maturation🧵
We are thrilled to share our review article: "Origin and Heterogeneity of Tissue Myeloid Cells" with @FGinhoux @ImmanuelKwok #ZhaoyuanLiu in @AnnualReviews of #immunology annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.11…
🚨To all macrophage & dendritic cell fans. Last time we organised a VIB Myeloid cell meeting we were completely sold-out within weeks. So just a warning to register in time for the #EMDS23 conference! vibconferences.be/events/emds202…. Speaker list is fantastic 🤩🤩🤩. Please retweet 🙏🏼
This weeks spotlight is now online, find out about some more committee members @geeky_cris and @P_Tougaard 🤓🧑🔬 pdc.sites.vib.be/en/postdocs-sp…
