Think you know how granzymes work? Think again! GzmA protects against intestinal Salmonella infection, but GzmB helps Salmonella, and perforin has no role at all. Read about this complex story of the battle between host and pathogen here tinyurl.com/2enehsx9 Tweetorial below

Those who know me, know I’m not someone who changes his preferences & behaviors lightly. As Ron Swanson said, “I regret nothing. The end.” Well, let me tell you about our new study, out from @ThePerryLab @MSKCancerCenter in @ImmunityCP @CellPressNews, which is the exception. /1

A couple of years ago I met the other 2Lauras (@DrLauraWolz & @CarterL_J) at an event, we all shared the same juggle travelling for work, established @STEMM_carers, begun a project to understand the issue sector-wide and now the report highlighting our findings is out ☺️☺️ 1/n

It was great fun to talk about our research on the podcast- Thanks Brenda and Jason! you can hear about our work on #IEL and #LRRK2, a gene mutated in #Crohns and #Parkinsons and how the gut is the most important organ for health :)
Don't miss this episode with Dr. @MahimaSwamy from the @dundeeuni!
She chats about her research on the role of intestinal intraepithelial #lymphocytes.

For the second year running, BFree Foods is supporting Coeliac Awareness Month with an on-pack donation to Coeliac UK!
After the incredible success of last year’s ‘A Little Pitta Love’ campaign — which raised £26,000 for Coeliac UK — BFree is once again stepping up to support Coeliac Awareness Month this May.
For every pack of their fan-favourite ‘Soft White Wraps’ sold throughout May, 40p will be donated directly to Coeliac UK to help fund vital support and research.
A huge thank you to BFree for their continued support, helping us make a difference for everyone who needs to live gluten free.

China clearly sees the potential of proteomics and is about to place a gigantic bet on it; multi-billion dollar and 30 years!!! All the better for the advancement of science and health. We contributed to the white paper out now in @Nature

1/ Keen to share the story of my postdoc research in @TheXavierLab! We built a massive resource characterizing the spatial landscape of the gut, and yes, we dug deep into the biology too. If you’ve got a minute, let me walk you through the story. 🧵👇

Dundee scientists will lead a multi-million dollar global initiative launched by @MichaelJFoxOrg to better understand Parkinson’s disease and explore new treatment options.
The LRRK2 Investigative Therapeutics Exchange (LITE) programme will be led by researchers from @mrcppu.👏
😊 thank you for saying this! We were struggling to find LRRK2 expression in paneth cells for a while, but then at a meeting I heard two other labs were also going through the same struggles. This encouraged me to publish this @NatImmunol to save others effort and resources
Science is self correcting. That's the way it should be. This finding is important for understanding the role of LRRK2 in IBD. Kudos to @MahimaSwamy for working hard to publish this. I think most of us would have put contradicting data in the drawer forever.
