Pallett Lab UCL

Join us in London this September to explore how environmental signals shape immune responses, with speakers including Yasmine Belkaid, Petter Brodin and more. 📅 Abstract deadline: Monday 29 June 2026 🎟️ Register early to save! Learn more: vist.ly/54ad6

Yesterday we had the privilege of contributing to a RoundTable in Whitehall on "Women in Research" - the future, barriers & potential solutions to address many systemic issues. We're excited to see how these conversations continue @laurawolz.bsky.social @carterlj.bsky.social @pallettlab.bsky.social

Now online! Extracellular matrix sensing regulates intratumoral heterogeneity of autophagic flux

Postdoc alert in spatial biology! Building upon our previous work with MSI cancers (e.g. de Vries et al, Nature, 2023), the Voest Group at the NKI is hiring a (fully funded) postdoctoral fellow with strong expertise in spatial cancer biology. Learn more / apply here: www.nki.nl/careers-stud...

Thanks to @iansample.bsky.social at the Guardian for covering the devastating funding cuts that are being proposed for UK (astro)physics, and the dire impact these would have on young researchers. Will UKRI/STFC reconsider? Will the UKGov step in?🤞👩‍🔬🧪⚛️🔭 www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

****2-NBDG does not measure glucose uptake**** Just your regular reminder of this fact 😁. See the rigorous proof of this fact in @lindavsinclair.bsky.social 2020 paper. This paper was 6 years ago!! Stop using 2NBDG to measure glucose uptake already 🙄 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Online now: B cell-intrinsic IL-2 signaling regulates inflammation by promoting IL-10 expression in CD25+ age-associated B cells

Cost of being female lead/corresponding author in biomedical sciences: "[T]he median amount of time spent under review is 7.4%–14.6% longer for female-authored articles than for male-authored articles" even in disciplines where women well-represented. #AcademicSky journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Human pancreatic cancer cells sense specific components of the ECM to fine-tune their autophagy flux levels, conferring the ability to coordinate proliferation, survival, and responsiveness to chemotherapy. Targeting ECM sensing may turn this ability into a therapeutic opportunity.

The emergence of cooperative behaviors, norms, and strategies across five diverse societies

Assays to monitor the metabolic state or nutrient uptake capacity of immune cells at a single cell level are increasingly in demand. One assay, used by many immunologists, employs 2-(N-(7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)Amino)-2-Deoxyglucose ...

B cells transiently increase interleukin (IL)-2 receptor expression upon activation. Gauthier et al. examine the B cell-intrinsic role of IL-2 and define an IL-2-MAF axis that promotes the differentiation of CD25+ age-associated B cells toward a regulatory, IL-10-producing phenotype that is protective in neuroinflammation.
