  • We Work at the Intersection of Immunology and Developmental Biology
    Development and Homeostasis of Mucosal Tissues U934/UMR3215 – Genetics and Developmental Biology Pedro Hernández Chef d'équipe [email protected] We work at the intersection of immunology and developmental biology. Our primary goal is to understand how immune responses impact the development, integrity and function of mucosal tissue layers, such as the intestinal epithelium, during homeostasis and upon different types of stress, including infections. To study these questions we exploit the advantages of the zebrafish model such as ex utero and rapid development, transparency, large progeny, and simple genetic manipulation. We combine live imaging, flow cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics, and models inducing mucosal stress, including pathogenic challenges. Our research can be subdivided into three main topics: 1) Protection of intestinal epithelial integrity since early development: Epithelial cells are at the core of intestinal organ function. They are in charge of absorbing nutrients and water, and at the same time constitute a barrier for potential pathogens and harmful molecules. Epithelial cells perform all these functions before full development of the immune system, which promotes epithelial barrier function upon injury. We study how robust epithelial integrity is achieved prior and after maturation of the intestinal immune system, with a focus on the function of mucosal cytokines. 2) Epithelial-leukocyte crosstalk throughout development: Intestines become vastly populated by leukocytes after exposure to external cues from diet and colonization by the microbiota. We have recently reported the existence and diversity of zebrafish innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), a key component of the mucosal immune system recently discovered in mice and humans. ILCs mediate immune responses by secreting cytokines such as IL-22 which safeguards gut epithelial integrity.

  • Immunology Stories: How Storytelling Can Help Us to Make Sense of Complex Topics
    Immunology Stories: How Storytelling Can Help Us to Make Sense of Complex Topics Jennifer Giuliani, MSc Camosun College, Lansdowne Campus, 3100 Foul Bay Rd, Victoria BC V8P 5J2 [email protected] Abstract The immune response is a wonderfully complex aspect of our physiology that can sometimes confound students and instructors alike. How do we wade through the layers of detail to help our students develop an understanding of immunology? In this article, I will share some of the stories about immunology research that helped me strengthen my own understanding and improve my approach to helping students learn and understand this topic. In addition, we will explore some of the research on the power of storytelling, and how learning through stories might be a defining characteristic of what it means to be human. https://doi.org/10.21692/haps.2020.105 Key words: storytelling, immunology Introduction I have been trying to understand the immune response for a My personal journey to develop a better understanding of long time.

  • PROGRESS in NEUROSCIENCE PINS “CNS Lymphatic Drainage In
    PROGRESS IN NEUROSCIENCE PINS Seminar Series of the Brain & Mind Research Institute Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) & The Graduate Program in Neuroscience of WCMC and Sloan Kettering Institute Thursday, 12/8/16, 4 PM, coffee at 3:45 PM Uris Auditorium “CNS lymphatic drainage in health and disease” Jonathan Kipnis, Ph.D., Center for Brain Immunology and Glia (BIG), Harrison Distinguished Teaching Professor of Neuroscience and Chair, Department of Neuroscience, University of Virginia Abstract The central nervous system was considered to be devoid of classical lymphatic drainage. We recently challenged that paradigm by demonstrating the presence of a lymphatic vasculature in the surrounding of the brain called the meninges. We demonstrated that lymphatic vessels, expressing the markers for lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC; i.e Lyve-1, Prox1, podoplanin, VEGFR3 and CCL21) are located along the dural sinuses. They present features of initial lymphatics, and, importantly, drain fluids, macromolecules and immune cells from the cerebrospinal fluid and the CNS parenchyma into the deep cervical lymph nodes. Our recent efforts are concentrated on understanding the role of meningeal lymphatic vessels in CNS function in health and disease. Our results suggest that the drainage into the deep cervical lymph nodes might play different roles at different stages of several neurological diseases. Understanding the function of the lymphatic drainage in CNS might shed a new light on neurological disorders and offer new therapeutic targets. Recent Relevant Publications: 1.

Yet this is exactly what happened in 2015, when researchers discovered 4 lymphatic vessels around and within the brain. Living with Alzheimer’s Film The lymphatic system exists throughout the body. Part of the immune system, it consists Screening of a network of channels (vessels) and glands called “nodes.” Nodes create immune cells 5 to help the body fight infection. The vessels carry fluid containing these immune cells, as well as pathogens and harmful cellular waste products, away from organs. Until recently, CaringKind Alliance Update lymphatic vessels had never been observed in or around the brain. While there were other 5 known ways—such as immune cells called macrophages—for waste products to be Extra Sets of Hands cleared from the brain, researchers had trouble explaining the volume of clearance they observed without a lymphatic system. 5 Cure Alzheimer’s Fund A recent study at the University of Virginia by Jonathan Kipnis, Ph.D., and his colleagues Heroes Antoine Louveau, Ph.D., and Tajie Harris, Ph.D., shed new light on this problem.
