For this month #JEMjc we would like to highlight this study from Eva Harris lab linking anti-NS1 IgA antibodies in plasma from a primary ZIKV infection, to drive neutrophil activation and correlate with increased risk of subsequent severe DENV2 disease. More here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s #JEM_Spotlight time again: this month we would like to highlight the detailed analysis of serological antibodies elicited after R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine. Because, you know, vaccines work. doi.org/10.1084/jem.20241908

Happy New Year from all of us @jem.org. For this month’s #JEMLegacy we are going back to the 90s with this report on lymphotoxin’s role in chronic inflammation tinyurl.com/2ua2cezw

Congratulations to Cedars-Sinai Postdoc Katarzyna Chojnacka, winner of the JEM Early Career Travel Award to attend the #Cytokines2025 meeting in Seattle. Learn more here: rupress.org/jem/pages/ea...

Following on from a great site visit at @cicbiogune.bsky.social last week, for #JEM_Spotlight I would like to highlight the work of @arkaitzcarracedo.bsky.social. A really interesting study investigating the role of LKB1 in metastatic prostate cancer. Take a look here 👉 doi.org/10.1084/jem....

In light of Monday’s #Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine announcement, for #JEMLegacy let’s look back at one of Shimon Sakaguchi’s early @jem.org papers from 1985! rupress.org/jem/article/...

For September’s #JEMjc we would like to highlight the recent description of septal macrophages controlling adipocyte tissue plasticity www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

JEM's Deputy Editor Gaia Trincucci (@gaiajexpmed.bsky.social) and @rupress.org's Ben Short at #AAI2025! Today's our final day -- come by our booth #811 and say hi! Don't forget to pick up our latest Immunology collection 📚 + souvenir 🏝️

Friends, it's fun to see the #immunology community continue to grow! I created a 4th Starter Pack to help folks find each other. If you're an immunologist and you don't see yourself on the lists, let me know 🧪 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/6aT6qDS go.bsky.app/QSEPDoj

In new study, Simchoni et al. from Anthony Shum's lab (rupress.org/jem/article/...) compared five families and multiple generations to find a gene variant that prevents COPA Syndrome and opens the door to a new gene therapy for the condition. More from UCSF News: www.ucsf.edu/news/2025/02...

#RareDiseaseDay2025 @jem.org where we remain committed to publishing studies that identify inborn errors of immunity, elucidate underlying mechanisms and propose potential treatments for rare diseases. Some recent examples: doi.org/10.1084/jem.20240827 doi.org/10.1084/jem.20240843

KLF2 expression in IgG plasma cells at their induction site regulates the migration program, say Wataru Ise, Takuya Koike, Tomohiro Kurosaki @osaka_univ_e and colleagues: buff.ly/41bbKEF

Tomorrow is #RareDiseaseDay. An exciting discovery today for COPA syndrome, a rare heritable autoimmune disease. Finding a protective allele that has the potential to lead to a cure rupress.org/jem/article/...

NIH plans to slash support for indirect research costs, sending shockwaves through science Capping these payments would ‘just grind our scientific complex to a halt,’ one researcher said @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/n...

Insights from Cadena & Blumenthal: Bernaleau et al. @rebsamenlab.bsky.social (https://buff.ly/3ZrE70d) show that CCDC134 located in the ER is required for TLR biogenesis by controlling the N-glycosylation, folding, and stabilization of the ER chaperone Gp96. https://buff.ly/4gwjt5N
