Group photo Text: Immunology & Inflammation Symposium Berlin Mar 17, 2026

Registration now open for the I&I Berlin Symposium 2026!
Are you part of Berlin’s immunology community or planning to become one?

On March 17, 2026, the symposium bringing together researchers, clinicians, & early-career scientists working on immunology and inflammation.

I don’t what that it is, maybe a (post)soviet education, but we think in the same direction 🤣

You probably know that Berlin has many outstanding research groups working in #immunology. We’re bringing this community together for a one-day symposium on March 17th. Please register if you’re curious about Berlin science! 🧬🧯🔥 #immunosky #medsky

Escherichia coli-induced gut IL-33 release inhibits lung type 2 allergic responses Background The incidence of lung allergies is reduced in countries with higher prevalence of infection and environmental exposure to microbes. However, enteric bacterial infections do not always corre...

Tomorrow, Rob Crozier from the University of Toronto will present a #preprint from the Morais da Fonseca lab about how Escherichia coli-induced gut IL-33 release inhibits lung type 2 allergic responses.

happy advent! @mdc-berlin.bsky.social such a great idea 🙈

The fall of a prolific science journal exposes the billion-dollar profits of scientific publishing One of the 15 publications that put out the most studies globally has been expelled from the indexing system for irregularities. Its publisher, Elsevier, has a 38% profit margin that reached $1.5 bill...

Interesting investigation into a dodgy Elsevier journal -- with the additional nugget that the CEO of Elsevier's parent company made more than €15 million in total compensation last year.

I want to know if Th2-MPP cells could be found in the gastrointestinal biopsies… (www.nature.com/articles/s41... ), besides that, a nice study in line with what our group published recently! :)

Also today at #PreprintHub1, Frederika Rentzeperis from Mt.Sinai will present a #preprint by Xueping Zhu from Professor Sokol's lab on how "Sensory neuronal mTORC1 signaling establishes neuroimmune memory that initiates allergic immunity"

A cool study + it was so nice to write this highlight with @theonlylabever.bsky.social 🥕

please submit preprints, this small study showing what adaptive sampling (AS) by #ONT can do helped me to compare my own results and *perhaps* improve them very soon. actually, AS is probably the best way to do targeted sequencing with long reads. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...
