Our collaborative work with the Regev and Xavier labs is now available as a pre-print. Read the abstract below or read the complete version on the BioRxiv. Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed risk alleles for ulcerative colitis (UC), but their cell type and pathway specificities are often unknown. Here, we generate an atlas of […]
Our paper on basal cell memory in type 2 inflammation published in a recent issue of Nature is the subject of a preview article in Immunity: “In a recent issue of Nature, Ordovas-Montanes et al. (2018) used cutting-edge genomic, epigenetic, and interventional techniques to characterize the cellular ecosystem in allergic chronic rhinosinusitis. They showed that basal epithelial cells “remember” type […]
