For the last 5y, I've been trying to find answers to a fundamental gap: Why do some ppl survive severe respiratory viruses while others develop severe lung damage - even w/ similar viral loads? Read our new preprint for some answers! www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-8... @khannakm.bsky.social

Brian Kim from MSSM is @nyulangone.bsky.social today talking itch and how (not) to scratch it. @itchdoctor.bsky.social

We have been ardently chipping away at this central questions for many years in #TeamKhanna! "Why does the same pathogen have completely different disease outcomes in individuals?" I enjoyed this read in Nature. 👇 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What a great way to start this account and end the week: our preprint describing how dermal γδ T cells mediate a skin-lung axis during parasite infection in mice is online! I'm excited to show the findings of my main postdoc project with @profjudiallen.bsky.social!🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Get ready, Poland! #gd2027

Hearty congratulations to my mentor, Dr. Kamal Khanna @khannakm.bsky.social on being promoted to Professor at @nyulangone.bsky.social. An incredible moment of joy and pride for #TeamKhanna and this is so well deserved. Kicking off 2026 in style and inspiration! 🎉🍾🥳🍰🧪 woohoo! 💪

Ozouni to start 2026

awesome new review from @edelblumlab.bsky.social about #GDTcells in IBD. Like Karen said, we hope to see many more of you in Wrocław for the #GDT2027 / Poland. 👇

1/ This Review Article from our new Focus Issue outlines how #epigenetic and metabolic rewiring enables innate immune cells to ‘remember’ past challenges, shaping protection, pathology, and new therapeutic strategies. buff.ly/NHdWyKS

Much needed but on first glance it seems more confident in the definition of mouse than human CD8s…. Do we know how to define short lived and long lived effectors in humans? And are LL effector memory always poor at dividing?

As for this: “However, in humans, SLECs are characterized as CCR7−, CD45RA+, KLRG1+, TCF1low, T-bethi, CX3CR1+, CD127low, CD27− and CD57+” that’s quite a definition. How did we decide on this? Is “high or low” an objective criteria?

..cross your 't's folks.. here's how! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited for @terkild.bsky.social talk at @nyulangone.bsky.social today about subclonal evolution, bacterial toxins and malignant persistence. in T cell lymphoma. Hosted by @sbkoralov.bsky.social. Had a great time chatting about our #GdT pasts and shared interests in mucosal tissues.
