The final formatted version of our paper on TGF-β ligands in host-pathogen response is now out in #PLOSGenetics ! This work supports the existence of cross-subfamily heterodimers, a hypothesis we plan to test next ~~~ dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

TGF-β ligand cross-subfamily interactions in the response of Caenorhabditis elegans to a bacterial...

Author summary The first line of defense upon exposure to a pathogen consists of innate immunity, which includes barrier functions and cell-cell communication. These cell-cell communication signaling...

And just like that, the 2024 #TGFSRC comes to an end! Once again, I return with a mind brimming with new ideas to explore in the lab, new connections made, and even more questions to answer. I am incredibly proud of the work done by @ClarissaBecher and @mariuswits! @CVCBLeiden

It's the second day of #TGFSRC in Niagara Falls 💦. I'm very happy and grateful for the invitation to share my thoughts (and the European 🇪🇺 perspective) on #diversity in scientific research. Now, it's time to continue with more excellent talks and discussions. @FASEBorg
