To be honest, I am a bit biased :) Tregs were the first scientific topic I was working on as an immunology student 🧑‍🎓 and I was totally fascinated by those cells and their ability to shut down overarching immune responses…

We found that HIF-1 controls LOX secretion in mechanosensitive fibroblasts, possibly fueling this chronic inflammatory skin disease. Thanks to Parvaneh, Pauline and David and all the other coauthors for their help!
