Excited to share our new paper in @pnas.org , led by @jdllkss.bsky.social in collaboration with @michelenamorado.bsky.social! We show how the immune system’s response to skin microbes can cause nerve overgrowth and chronic itch, via the molecule IL-17A. ow.ly/LfyU50XQ16y

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.

Just wrapped up two mind-blowing days at #Interoception2025 at the stunning @AllenInstitute in #Seattle. Grateful to @KeystoneSymp for the Early Career Investigator award-truly reinvigorated and inspired! #Neuroimmunology #Interoception

@andreamunozz.bsky.social and I are now based in the Icahn school of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the brilliant labs of @michelenamorado.bsky.social and @mcalpinelab.bsky.social respectively, so keep an eye out for the cool work to come from there also!

Groundbreaking work led by talented @Andrea Zamora Munoz, out today in @Nature, showing how memory engrams control thermoregulation and body metabolism. We’re very excited to have her join our lab as a postdoc. #Immunoception www.nature.com/articles/s41...
