Our paper is out in @pnas.org Big congrats to @jdllkss.bsky.social , and huge thanks to @belkaidlab.bsky.social for the tremendous support. We explore how sensory neuron hyperinnervation regulates itch. @sinaiimmuno.bsky.social @sinaibrain.bsky.social @Dermatology at Mount Sinai.

🎁 Happy holidays from our laboratory to yours. 🎁 Here’s to standing up for science and to a more peaceful and kinder year ahead!

Need more info before signing petition for state-backed research institute? Get the full behind-the-scenes 🎞️ of how the Empire Biomedical Research Institute proposal came to be, what’s needed to move it forward, and how other states can follow suit: keypoint.keystonesymposia.org/home/shruti-...

🗞️ in @gothamist.com from @clewisreports.bsky.social. Our 2 cents: EBRI doesn’t compete with other urgent needs — it equips NYS to meet them. Not funding it now worsens pressures; funding it grows the economy to help fix them. State-backed research is a win-win-win-win. gothamist.com/news/ny-medi...

🚨 REVIEW 🚨 Amir Horowitz & Peter Heeger in @natrevneph.nature.com highlight how diverse NK cells in the kidney support immune surveillance but also drive injury in many diseases and contribute to transplant damage, with high-resolution profiling revealing new therapeutic targets. 🧐 rdcu.be/eUgor

Petition for a NY Biomedical Institute. This is a no-brainer to support science in NY, similar to programs in CA/TX. www.change.org/p/support-a-...

Wondering why you should ✍ our petition? c.org/nDnRNSsVcq In @aai.org, founder @drshrutinaik.bsky.social reveals why the coalition was formed, why NY needs a state-backed research institute, and how scientists should organize for systemic support — here and nationwide. news.aai.org/2025/11/20/n...

Run a lab? Work in a lab? Wondering where your future research funding will come from? New York has an unprecedented opportunity on the table — a bold proposal to supercharge biomedical research and innovation across the state. 👉 Sign the petition & share to help make it happen.: c.org/TDMy2H9JTW

Paper out now in @natbiotech.nature.com by @yizhoudonglab.bsky.social describing new LNP mRNAs for combatting bacterial infections… helping the immune system clear the pathogens while limiting tissue damage…

We’re in a proud, confident and ambitious Empire State of mind! If you believe in building a better and brighter tomorrow, hustle on over to sign and share the petition for an Empire Biomedical Research Institute to fuel the future and the people like you who power discovery. c.org/hwy54dWJDb

📢 SIGN & SHARE THE PETITION! 📢 New York needs an Empire Biomedical Research Institute to create new statewide funding opportunities for scientists & physician-scientists so that patients and their families get the life-saving and life-changing new therapeutics they're hoping for ✏️ c.org/TDMy2H9JTW

In Dermatology Times, @itchdoctor.bsky.social highlights that inflammation is a common thread across diseases throughout the body. Studying how it goes awry in one organ—like the skin—can reveal why it misfires elsewhere. www.dermatologytimes.com/view/brian-k...

📣 NEW STUDY 📣 @cp-immunity.bsky.social by Maria Lafaille's lab shows how long-lived IgE-producing plasma cells survive & sustain allergy without continued allergen exposure: maturing in spleen & bone marrow with a unique survival program that resists cell-death signals 🧐 www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

Excited to share our LongTrack study out in @natmicrobiol.nature.com today! Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), donor 💩 => patients' gut, is an effective treatment for recurrent C. difficile infection & is being evaluated for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) & other conditions 1/ 📄 rdcu.be/eL8mR

Also tomorrow, Cindy Xintong Li from the University of Oxford will present a preprint about how TCR activation impairs CAR-T cytotoxicity against separate target cells. @kischober.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tomorrow, Annie Khamhoung from Mt.Sinai will present a pre-print on the role of brain infiltrating T-cells in microglial dysregulation and neuronal loss following subarachnoid haemorrhage. @ElisaEzanier @MarioNegriIRCCS www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our new review in @natbiomedeng.nature.com is out! RNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have huge potential—but their strong liver and immune cell uptake has mostly confined them to vaccines and liver therapies. We explore how to move beyond those limits. free to read 🔗 rdcu.be/eLxGs

Immunotherapy researcher Miriam Merad from Icahn Mount Sinai says the reason that cancer research has slowed is because of funding issues, which is something taxpayers don’t have to accept. “We fight for patients, we fight for science, and we have to fight for progress.” #STATSummit

Add your name ✍ at www.nycures.org so Albany sees 10,000 scientists calling for the future of biomedical research to be built right here in New York. Our first email to members goes out soon—introducing the statewide biomedical institute we’re proposing and how you can help power it forward.

Looking forward to this live episode of @microbetv.bsky.social with my dear friend and rockstar immunologist @diehllab-mskcc.bsky.social #holidayfun #immune100

Wondering what *exactly* we’re up to? Our first coalition email is about to go out—introducing the statewide biomedical institute we’re proposing and how you can help power it forward THIS WEEK! Sign up now so you don’t miss it: www.nycures.org/

Sleep is very good for the immune system!

🧪Excited to co-present this @standupforscience.bsky.social event next week with UW's Dr. Ryan Kelly We'll cover how to effectively engage in public comments, to help shape public policy at all levels, federal to local. Attend in person or virtually! RSVP: act.standupforscience.net/events/power...

The immune system is a formidable defense that can destroy our own cells to keep us safe from viruses and cancer. That power demands effective checks & balances to prevent autoimmunity. Like the regulatory T cells discovered by this year's Nobel Prize winners! www.newscientist.com/article/2498...

The BIGGEST impact you can have with 1 minute today ⏱️ Add your name to show NY is ready for a statewide biomedical institute. CA’s CIRM & TX’s CPRIT proved it works—billions returned, jobs created, cures accelerated. Let’s do even better for New York. ✍️ www.nycures.org/

“States like New York have an opportunity to position ourselves as real leaders in so many different areas.” @governor.ny.gov Like her, we believe NY is ready for revitalization—by launching a state-wide biomedical institute that boosts jobs, the economy & cures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVtF...

Check out our latest in @cp-trendscancer.bsky.social where rockstar PhD student @laurarosenberg.bsky.social reviews cancer therapies known to induce innate immune responses through the reactivation of Transposable Elements.

The new #NSF #GRFP application now excludes 1000’s of students, including those who were told they could apply this year, or who planned to apply next year. We have a new specific petition urging #NSFGRFP undo this harmful action. If you are impacted sign here: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

📝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/
