New cover @NatImmunol depicting NK cell-intrinsic sex differences. O'Sullivan & Maureen Su Labs @UCLA show that an extra copy of the X-linked epigenetic regulator UTX in female mice increases NK cell effector function in female mice. #sciart #scicomm

UTX escapes X inactivation, regulates chromatin accessibility, & govern sex differences in NK cells. NK cell-intrinsic UTX-/- in female mice increased NK cell numbers but reduced function & compromised CMV immunity @MandyICheng @Maureen_Su_Lab O'Sullivan nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

Congrats @thejoeyli!!! 🥳🎉👨🏻‍🔬 – at Golden Glades, FL
Joey Li (@thejoeyli) presented his work on NK cells at the @SNI_NKMeeting in Bonita Springs, FL. Joey is in the @OSullivanLab in the @UCLAMBI. Great job!! #NK2022

I wrote this article criticizing the obsession with individual genius (and competitions to find it) in academia. I believe we need profound reforms. Not just because our system is unjust, but also because we could achieve so much more. 🧵 1/11 jacobinmag.com/2022/05/scien…

Huge thanks to organizers @LabFehniger @MACattackLab for an incredible meeting! This was my first NK meeting and I’m mind blown by the science shared this weekend. It was unreal meeting giants in the field that I’ve only been reading their work for the past 4 years!! 🤯 #NK2022 – at Bonita Springs, FL

And exciting unpublished data by Mandy which suggests that sex differences in immunology directly impact nk cell functionality. Very curious to see where this leads! 2/2

Can’t wait to give my first ever block symposia about #sexdifferences in NK cells!
Delighted that graduate student @MandyICheng will be presenting her work on Sex Differences in NK cells in a Block Symposia at #Immunology2022 on May 10 at 8:00 am! immunology2022.org/program/
