Congrats to Dr. Mary E. Brunkow! Dr. Brunkow & her two colleagues were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine today “for their fundamental discoveries relating to peripheral immune tolerance." Brunkow is an American molecular biologist & immunologist. #WomenInSTEM

Congratulations to new Nobel Laureate and AAI Distinguished Fellow Shimon Sakaguchi, co-winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his foundational discoveries on regulatory T cells and peripheral immune tolerance! Published in The JI in 1995: ow.ly/LGk150X7984.

Congratulations to Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi for this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. It also demonstrates the fairness of the prize, as Mary Brunkow is a Senior Program Manager (not a professor) at the @isbscience.org hood.isbscience.org/people/mary-...

Check out our latest episode! Dr. Tamara Tilburgs (@ttilburgs.bsky.social) from @cincychildrens.bsky.social talks about the mechanisms of immune tolerance during pregnancy! Listen now: bit.ly/3H7ZM8H

My warmest thanks to all coauthors incl @hroager.bsky.social for your excellent contributions to our review "Gut microbiota development across the lifespan: Disease links and health-promoting interventions" & to @jinternmed.bsky.social for supporting our symposium & selecting us as Editor's Choice.

Our December Issue is out! https://buff.ly/4fXY85D Cover: Vanessa Sancho-Shimizu et al found that certain rare genetic mutations in the BTNL8 gene are more common in children w/ MIS-C (https://buff.ly/41cs75m). Image shows Manhattan plot for all the constituent ancestral groups in the MIS-C cohort.

Hi Bluesky. Follow me for women's and children's health research. Areas of interest include microbiome, preterm birth, infection and inflammation. Here's a new paper! Secretor status is a modifier of vaginal microbiota-associated preterm birth risk - www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

A starter pack for PhD students and Postdocs in Immunology to connect 🔽 Drop a 🧬 and I'll add you to the list. Let's build the upcoming immuno community! #ImmunoSky 🧪 go.bsky.app/RABVXY4

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

🦠🔬🚨 I have created a starter pack for those involved in research related to human microbiomes (there are other excellent microbiome packs by @claesengroup.bsky.social but this differentiates human from environmental/plant microbiomes). Let me know if you would like to be added! go.bsky.app/3eeA7BP

Maybe gut microbiome scientists could be a tract (if it were specifically for the gut microbiome), but I can't find a starter pack specific to the gut. This one is specifically the human microbiome, which is missing from your wonderful spreadsheet: bsky.app/starter-pack...

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

👋 Hi everyone! I'm Whitney, an epidemiologist. I’m embarking on a mission to debunk public health misinformation, promote data-driven insights, and empower a science-savvy community. Follow along, share, and let’s make knowledge contagious! #DataWorthSpreading #AmplifytheFacts 🧬👭🌍

Fantastic starter-pack to follow!!

Here's an article by @kakape.bsky.social on the migration of scientists to Bluesky from X. One thing stood out to me: there's a button for sharing on X at the top (along with Linkedin, etc.), but no blue butterfly to be seen! www.science.org/content/arti...

Gut IgA1 and IgA2 subclasses co-emerge early in life, largely derive from clonally related and somatically mutated plasma cells in adults, and show unique changes of both frequency and reactivity in IBD @gmagrilab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1084/jem....

We recognise the immense value of big datasets–not just for the labs that generate them, but for the entire #MucosalImmunology community. That's why we've introduced a new #Resource article format mucosalimmunology.org to share and showcase such important contributions. Interested? Reach out to us!

A new mechanistic study uncovers how dietary fibre influences the gut microbiota to drive ILC1 IFNγ, boosting MHC II expression on intestinal epithelial cells and shaping IEL pools. A must-read for #MucosalImmunology aficionados! www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

go.bsky.app/7zMmwNY Hi all, so nice to cross over to the light. Here is a starter pack for all things Mucosal Immunology! Exciting to create a MI community here. Let me know if you would like to join 👍

Most reactions to the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines characterized and treated as anaphylaxis turned out not to be anaphylactic reactions but immunization stress-related responses

Hello #immunology community! Hope we can make this a better place to discuss science and share ideas!

I hope I can reconnect with my academic network including world leading #microbiome, #metabolomics and #nutrition experts 😍 here at Bluesky 💙

My warmest congratulations to Emelie Ahlberg and @lina_tingo on the publication of isevjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/je… in @ISEV_JExBio, in fruitful collaboration with Nanoxis AB, nanoxis.com/contactus.php
