Human lung CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cell-derived interferon-γ orchestrates subset-specific antiviral programming in airway epithelial cells
Mattingly et al. use human lung cells to show that virus-specific CD8+ tissue-resident memory T cells trigger epithelial antiviral defenses via IFNγ. This early protective response varies by epithelial subset, restricts influenza infection, and highlights the importance of Trm-epithelial cell crosstalk in mediating respiratory virus control.

As NIH budget deliberations continue, prepare to hear Bhattacharya deflect substantial questions about the negative effects of his funding policies with “I’m an economist.” He’s not a very good one if he’s unable to assess the impact of funding decisions at the agency he directs.

These are VERY rough estimates, but here's life expectancy after diagnosis of type-I diabetes over the past 150 years. It was Banting and Best's discovery of how to isolate insulin in 1921 — not some fucking cooking class — that gave people including my daughter a new lease on life.

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

The court ordered that NIH grant funding be unfrozen, so The Regime found a way around it. For NIH grants to be funded, a review panel must rank them. In order for a review panel to meet, they must post it on the Federal Register. Submissions to the Federal Register are now on hold “indefinitely”.
