Want to see immune cells in 3D? We’ve published a protocol for 5-plex 3D imaging of whole lymph nodes, revealing germinal centers at single-cell resolution. So many possibilities ahead! Congratulations Victoire Boulat!

Extremely happy to see our work out in #ScienceImmunology. We show allergen-induced ECM remodelling occurs independently of IL-13 or IL-17 driven inflammation. Rather chitinase-like proteins drive airway ECM accumulation & inhibition of Ym1 can remarkably reverse it. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Allergen-induced airway matrix remodeling in mice can be prevented or reversed by targeting chitinase-like proteins

Allergic airway matrix remodeling occurs independently of IL-13 and IL-17A and is driven instead by chitinase-like proteins.
