Wonderful work, David! The concept that ETC flux—not ATP—licenses cDC1 immunogenicity through /metabolite control of DNA methylation is conceptually beautiful. Congrats to Ignacio, Stefanie and the whole team! Thanks for giving us the chance to learn throught this collaboration!

🤔Do you think that OXPHOS in DCs = tolerance?
🚨In our new @Cell_Metabolism study @CNIC_CARDIO , we show that active #mitochondrial ETC primes cDC1s for immunogenicity, boosting anti-tumor immunity.

We’re thrilled to have contributed to this outstanding work led by @JoseL_Sardina & @GemmaValcarcelX! 🧬💡

This study is a milestone in showing that epigenetic editing can causally shape immune identity and inflammatory responses.

1/ Can we control how cells sense external stimuli by modulating their epigenetic states? 🧬🧪

Our latest study shows that targeted DNA methylation editing can shape cell fate & inflammatory responses in immune cells-now out in @ScienceAdvances! 👇

Busy and inspiring week at @embl for the @IMMERGE_MSCA_DN midterm review and two great workshops: #Epigenetics & #TranscriptionalRegulation, and #Leadership & #Management. Grateful for the science, the insights, and everyone’s commitment !
