Our latest paper "NaCl enhances CD8+ T cell effector functions in cancer immunotherapy" is now out @NatImmunol nature.com/articles/s4159… 🥳🎉🍾. A 🧵:
“A pinch of salt boosts T cell function”. Great preview of our recent @NatImmunol NaCl paper published by Ping-Chih Ho and colleagues @PCHo_Lab nature.com/articles/s4159…
Imagine if a pinch of salt could turn our immune cells into super officers, better at fighting cancer. @luglilab @caterinascirgo @rosasott @CancerResearch @AIRC_it @SJaillon @maria_rescigno @RoychoudhuriLab @DDiMitri_Lab @Davide54622546 @NatImmunol nature.com/articles/s4159…
Great meeting so far, and great talk @sjturn
My first trip to #ImmunoOktoberfest, a star studded line up, and talks in a room that make it hard to keep focussed, looking forward to a great week of science and discussion #immunoOktoberfest #immunologyiscool #scienceyeah
Looking much forward to great science with friends & esteemed colleagues at the #ImmunOctoberfest2024. immunoctoberfest.de The portrait features a new T cell subset, first discovered in 2022. Thanks heaps, Dietmar&Ben! -AB #immunology #Tcells #Bavaria #OctoberFest

10 days to go! We are itching to be back here and see you all!
Scirgolea and Sottile et al. showed that CD8+ T cells use NaCl to promote potent T cell effector functions. @caterinascirgo @rosasott @luglilab @HumanitasMilano bit.ly/3zerVXH #CancerImmunology
It is a pleasure to write this preview for these two interesting studies published in @NatImmunol . Congrats to @luglilab and Christina’s team. Thanks for @akarinahajdu and @Lorene_Rousseau for their insightful summary🫶 rdcu.be/dTpfx
Less than 20 days to go! Really looking forward to this year's gathering
Join us for the 2024 ImmunOctoberfest meeting! 🍺🔬 Registration for the event is now open at: immunoctoberfest.de
Last weeks #immunometabolism discoveries @Bims_BiomedNews biomed.news/bims-imicid/20… Highlights: Two studies @NatImmunol demonstrate that NaCl enhances CD8+ T cell fitness and effector functions, with potential applications in immunotherapy
Just arrived at #ECI2024. Stop me of you want to chat some science. We also have open positions with exciting T-cell projects!

Great session on #cardioimmunology at the #ESCCongress2024, on innate and adaptive immunity aspects of cardiac and vascular pathology, as well as real-world impact in the clinic, with @EpelmanLab @LabMonaco @CardioOncology, orchestrated expertly by @notimmuneatall and F Leuchner.

Our NaCl story would have not been possible without the tremendous support of the @CancerResearch STAR program.
Can table salt supercharge your immune system to fight cancer? According to research from CRI Lloyd J. Old STAR Dr. Enrico Lugli @luglilab, NaCl, or table salt, helps promote anti-cancer activity by preventing T cell exhaustion. Explore: bit.ly/3yWSAIk #CancerResearch
"Salty" 🧂🧂🧂papers out @NatImmunol! NaCl boosts CD8 T cell fitness and cytotoxicity for cancer immunotherapy Massive congrats @luglilab and @zielinski_cz for this important discoveries nature.com/articles/s4159… nature.com/articles/s4159…
Salty news: Sodium chloride in the #tumor microenvironment enhances T cell #metabolic fitness and #cytotoxicity. Salt can kill! In this case tumors by enhancing T cell killer functions. also see: @luglilab. @UniJena #Tcell #dgfi @YI_dgfi #cancer nature.com/articles/s4159…
