In the latest episode, we're talking neonatal Tregs! What are they? Still don't know! What do they do? Still don't know! Where do they go? Ahh, the right question - it's the skin of course! With special guest @zackhilt.bsky.social 🧪 #immunology

I recently recorded an Immunology Podcast called @audiommunity.org where I get to geek out on why Neonatal T cells are unique from Adult T cells. Please give them a listen and get the viewership up. Extra important to amplify the voice of real scientist and dampen all of the pseudoscience grifters.

In our latest episode, @woodrufflab.bsky.social and @kevinbonham.com talk about glycoRNAs, and the way they're shielded from the immune system in a new paper from the labs of @raflynn5.bsky.social and @vijayrathinam.bsky.social 🧪 audiommunity.org/episodes/epi...

Did you know that there are small RNAs embedded in the plasma membrane of your cells? I didn't! But your immune system sure does! New episode of @audiommunity.org out now! 🧪 audiommunity.org/episodes/epi...

The latest @audiommunity.org - Remembering David Baltimore by trying (and mostly failing) to explain the complex molecular biology in a classic #immunology paper describing the discovery of the VDJ recombinase gene 🧪 audiommunity.org/episode046

Oops! Forgot to post to Patreon for the last episode... #AI and #science - what's not to love? With @kevinbonham.com and @woodrufflab.bsky.social 🧪 Turns out, quite a lot www.patreon.com/posts/episod...

Episode 45 - Big if true audiommunity.org/episodes/epi... Someone made an AI-based "virtual lab" to engineer nanobodies - is this a paradigm shift in how we do science, or a transpararent and cynical effort to slurp up all of the citations for being first?

In a couple of hours, @woodrufflab.bsky.social and @kevinbonham.com are going to discuss a new paper (in early preview) about an #LLM -based "virtual lab" that designed nanobodies for #sars-cov2 What would you want to know? Do you think this is a cool idea or harbinger of doom? 🧪

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said." It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy. I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

Bacteria have immune systems? And autoimmunity? Well... In this episode, Kate and @kevinbonham.com discuss a new paper showing that anti-phage defenses of bacteria can provide really broad protection, but pesky selection gets in the way 🦠 🧫 🧪 audiommunity.org/episodes/epi...

Everything you wanted to know about oxidized lipids & immunity, in one review. We explain how oxidized lipids impact inflammation, dendritic cells, anti-tumor immunity and more. Kudos to Joon Choi for his exceptional work. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Expression level of anti-phage defence systems controls a trade-off between protection range and autoimmunity By Nitzan Aframian and Avigdor Eldar. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New bluesky account, revamped website, and a new episode to boot! @kevinbonham.com and @woodrufflab.bsky.social discuss a new paper about T cells in the subfornical organ... Why does that sound so unseemly? audiommunity.org/episodes/epi... youtu.be/st_g9eloJOw?...
