Virus-specific resident memory T cell networks sustain immunity in human oral mucosa in this work from @johannastrobl.bsky.social at @meduniwien.ac.at www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

Happy to share our study detecting a multitude of virus-specific resident T cells in oral mucosa - and the communication networks keeping them there! 👅

Has the #AlongshanVirus really circulated in Central Europe for decades❓️ Researchers detected the #tick-borne virus in Austria for the first time. Genetic analyses show it circulated in Central Europe for 20+ years, with @aberlejudith.bsky.social​ as study head. ⬇️ 📰 @lancetmicrobe.bsky.social​​

Herzliche Gratulation👏 @johannastrobl.bsky.social​ von der Universitätsklinik für #Dermatologie der #MedUniWien wurde mit dem erstmals vergebenen Gerold Stanek Preis ausgezeichnet. Der Preis würdigt wissenschaftliche Leistungen junger Forscher:innen im Bereich zeckenübertragener Erkrankungen. ⬇️

Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. A Primer in Nature Reviews Disease Primers summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of Lyme borreliosis. go.nature.com/47WV1sG #medsky 🧪

How do #ticks manipulate the human #immunesystem in order to introduce pathogens? A team led by #MedUniVienna shows that tick saliva alters skin immune responses, helping transmit #BorreliaBurgdorferi - the cause of #LymeDisease. 🗞️ @natcomms.nature.com​

Our new study on Tick bites & Lyme disease!

🕷️ How could #tick saliva help treat inflammatory diseases? A team from #MedUniVienna reviews new findings on how bioactive molecules in tick saliva modulate the immune system. Their work reveals potential for innovative therapies beyond disease transmission. ⤵
