🔬Our paper from the @miriammerad.bsky.social lab is now online! This is a story shaped over years of cross-disciplinary endeavor at @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social and labs across the world. 🧵: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📝NEW STUDY📝 Cancer's first punch when battling the immune system may be rewiring myeloid progenitors in bone marrow so they become suppressive tumor macrophages blunting T-cell attacks. Find out how in @nature.com from @samhegde.bsky.social & @miriammerad.bsky.social 🧐 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢 📢📢📢 📢 Mechanosensitive fibroblasts fuel strictures via YAP/TAZ signaling—opening doors to new anti-fibrotic therapies. Grateful to be part of this transformative study with the Longaker lab! 🙏🙏🙏 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... STAY TUNED for more in IBD damage from the #Naiklab

New York leads in science & medicine but without state investment, we risk losing talent, cures, jobs, & billions in economic return. Every $1 California invested in biomedical research returned $4 to the state economy. This isn’t just science—it’s smart economics: www.cirm.ca.gov/our-impact/

Our researchers Samir Parekh, Joshua Brody & Patrick Brunner report the first-ever targeted therapy for a rare, aggressive T-cell lymphoma triggered by CAR T treatment—published @nejm.org. The patient, initially treated for myeloma, is now in remission from both cancers. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

🚨 New Publication!!! I’m thrilled to share our latest study, “Clonotype-Enriched Somatic Hypermutations Drive Affinity Maturation of a Public Human Antibody Targeting an Occluded Sarbecovirus Epitope”. www.cell.com/cell-reports... [1/4]

Think that this is cool biology? We agree. Love 20+ color flow? Are you within 2-3 years of your PhD and are looking for a postdoc? We're hiring @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social 😁 ⬇️

'The language of the immune system appears to be largely dominated by chemical (that is, molecular) sensing (...)The nervous system, by contrast, recognizes light, sound, pressure, temperature, smell, and pain, and thus is adept at both physical & molecular sensing' www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 AAI is proud to announce the launch of the AAI RESTORE Grants Program, an $8M emergency funding initiative to support scientists whose immunology-focused federal research grants were abruptly terminated or frozen in 2025. 🔗 ow.ly/rwMU50Wy3Mp #AAIRESTORE

Y’all. They used dental floss on mice.... for vaccine delivery!!! Not kidding. This is the type of research that keeps me so excited about science and innovation and why we should not be defunding science. www.science.org/content/arti...

Using brain scans from very large database, researchers @alirezamnk.bsky.social, et al. @uniofnottingham.bsky.social determined that during the pandemic years of 2021 & 2022, people’s brains showed signs of aging. Icahn Mount Sinai's Dr. Jacqueline Becker Weighs In 👉 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Our paper is out! Check out this beautiful story where we uncovered that the costimulatory molecule ICOS is detrimental for PD-1+ CD8 T cells. Sustained ICOS signaling reduces memory-like features of progenitor exhausted CD8 T cells in chronic viral infection and liver cancer.

No, a LOT of them think that. Science may be one of the most social forms of knowledge production we have. Arguably it’s at least as social as creative writing. Actual scientists will tell you this. Yet, millions of people think they can do science alone with an LLM.

Please comment on this — about animal research/real biology — before 5pm ET today! And don’t just comment, post your comments publicly! It is unclear in the Trump FDA/NIH what will happen to your private comments. If you copy your comments into this thread we will amplify them.

Birth defects kill twice as many children as cancer. Animal model are crucial; no stem-cell or computer models can yet recapitulate the embryo's complexity. If you support birth defects research tell NIH that animal models are important! Click & scroll below to comment. tinyurl.com/mr3he6bx

Just sent this as an email to my department but figured I'd share more broadly in case it is useful. This describes the procedure happening now for science funding in Congress (@davidimiller.bsky.social can correct me if I got this wrong). Importantly, there are still actions that can be taken.

The NIH is asking scientists and the public to comment on plans to drastically limit animal model research. If you think animal models remain important tools for basic and clinical research tell them! Click the link below and scroll down to send your comments! www.fda.gov/news-events/...

I’m all for more NAMS, but it has its limits. There are no LLMs or organs-on-a-chip that can model viral pathogenesis, vaccine efficacy, or candidate drugs. We only use animals when there is no other choice. This will only stop more lifesaving research. www.drugdiscoverytrends.com/nih-announce...
