The wait is over, it’s back! 🧪 Granulocyte Meeting 2025 | 15–18 Sept | Shanghai. Big science. Big names. Big City. Don’t miss it. 🔗 g-meeting.org #Gmeeting2025 #Granulocytes #ThePowerOfMany
Mind blown! Microglia were long thought to reside only in the brain—until now. A new study by @li_hanjie and colleagues reveal microglia in the peripheral nervous system, reshaping our understanding of neuroimmune boundaries. #Neuroimmunology #Microglia #PNSMicroglia
Proud to share our latest @CellCellPress paper. We present a novel immune population termed PNS microglia that regulate neuronal soma size throughout evolution. cell.com/cell/abstract/… #Microglia#PNS#NeuronalSomaSize#Macrophage#BodySize#Neuroimmunology#Evolution (1/8)
Happy to share our latest paper on DC ontogeny! nature.com/articles/s4159… Congratulations to the team and to Dr Zhaoyuan Liu from the Shanghai Institute of Immunology!
Paper for journal club!
1/ 🚨 Hot off the press in @NatImmunol: CD4⁺ T cells can license Kupffer cells to rescue dysfunctional CD8⁺ T cells in the liver. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is just the proving ground—this is a paradigm shift in tissue immunity. nature.com/articles/s4159… 🧵(1/11) 2/…
Our latest review explores the roles of neutrophils in metabolic syndrome—our first effort in examining their function and connection to metabolic conditions. Read more here @hLife_2023 👇👇👇 tinyurl.com/3v7jpenn
Hot off the press, our review article is out @ImmunityCP ! It has been a super enjoyable process collaborating with @AndrsHidalgo16, #DanielaCerezoWallis and @im_mel_nology to put this article together. #ThePowerOfMany Link to article: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kRLf3qNrUxu…
November has truly been a month of gratitude and reflection, I’m deeply grateful to the amazing friends and collaborators who’ve been part of this journey. Thank you all.
Our data showed varied functions of myeloid cells in early life while identifying therapeutic targets. We are grateful to our collaborators @FGinhoux @HongyanWang9 @lai9uan @CJM_lab @Abhay_R_ and their teams for all their support, ideas, tools, and enthusiasm over the years!
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…
Finally typhoon Bebinca has passed through Shanghai, I can finally start my journey to @neutrophil2024 in Munich, looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues #ThePowerOfMany

Having benefited from excellent mentors over the course of her career, a physician concludes that a true mentor is someone who has more imagination about you than you have about yourself. Read the full Perspective: nej.md/3SDFcPf
It was a real honored to be the keynote speaker for the 40th #EPW2024, it is a meeting all about science, community and opportunity for junior scientists, amazing tradition other meetings should take on.
Thanks to all the #EPW2024 participants for their outstanding talks, great posters and engaging discussions over the past days! This year’s European Phagocyte Workshop is now over, and we are looking forward to #EPW2025 next year organized by @Carlos_Silvestr and @AcebesCasanova!
I am really pleased to share our latest manuscript, just published @Nature! You can access the manuscript (open access) here: nature.com/articles/s4158… Special thanks to Maria Carolina Florian for the great commentary: nature.com/articles/d4158…
