On the science front I’ll be writing about everything from our evolution of custom cancer cures to the smallest pieces of immune cell that you can imagine and how they make us whole.

On the personal front, I’ll share stories of joy and heartache that are companions in this life. Subscribe if you want to be updated. Share the link if you like it. I hope you enjoy and that is spurs lots of conversations next time we hang out.

Many tx studies (Mujal... Azizi…)failed to validate M1/M2 signatures in vivo. Many also suspected that calling cells bearing ‘prototypical M2’ genes ‘‘immunosuppressive’ was simplistic + incorrect. Nonetheless many (us too!) leaned on the simplification. Arja addresses the reality head on…thnx JEM

Rather than immune suppression, CD206+ TAMs recruit a tumor-reactive network of CD8 T cells, cDC1s, and NK cells doi.org/10.1084/jem.... @maxkrummel.bsky.social @jexpmed.bsky.social

Are so-called 'M2-like' CD206+ macrophages immunosuppressive? On the contrary, we find that they are critical for T cell mediated anti-tumor immunity. Arja Ray drove this study with help from Ken Hu, Kelly Kersten, Alexis Combes and others www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
