Happy to collaborate on this study profiling the existence and development of cross-tissue #ILC1 in humans.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2022.111937

Key Takeaways:

-Human ILC1 are rare in healthy liver, but accumulate in cirrhotic livers.

-Unknown #LSEC-derived signals + #TGFβ1 + #il7 drive differentiation of ILC progenitors to ILC1.

-Human #NK cells do not differentiate to ILC1 under multiple conditions ex vivo.

-Human ILC1 make #il2 but functional relevance of this still unknown.

Hey there! I'm an Assistant Professor at #UCLA studying mouse and human #innateimmunity using #systemsimmunology and #crispr to find new targets for chronic viral infections, #T2D and #cancer. I mainly focus on #type1 immune responses including #NKcells #cDC1 and #ILC1. I started #earlycareerimmunology in 2021 to highlight underrepresented scientists early in their career. I'm here to post about #science, #art, #travel, #cat photos, and congratulate you on your wins 🥳🎉.
