OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Monocyte Heterogeneity and Ontogeny: implications for studies of infection, inflammation, cancer and aging
Monocytes are innate immune cells with diverse functions in host defense against infection and tumors, as well as tissue homeostasis, repair and regeneration. They perform surveillance roles throughout the body and can be rapidly recruited to infected or injured tissues. Recent studies have revealed that monocytes are more heterogeneous than previously appreciated and we have shown that this is in part a reflection of their origins. I will present evidence that functionally distinct monocyte subsets arise via independent pathways in the bone marrow, and discuss how infection, inflammation, cancer and aging may impact monocyte production and functional programming.
