Paper rdcu.be/eyB5k shows how respiratory viruses including SARS‑CoV‑2 can awaken dormant breast cancer cells via IL‑6–driven inflammation and drive metastasis. Echoes our work rdcu.be/eyIFg COVID‑induced TGF‑β immunosuppression reactivates EBV in PASC, MIS-C

"Manche haben die Infektion nicht bemerkt. Wochen später haben die Kinder diese Entzündungsreaktion entwickelt. Auf den ersten Blick hat das mit SARS-2 nichts zu tun." @mashreghilab.bsky.social​ @drfzberlin.bsky.social​

#EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Cineus, Hegazy &co show @natimmunol.nature.com that during #colitis ILCs produce IL22 which drives oncostatin M #OSM signaling in intestinal #epithelial cells recruiting immune cells, exacerbating inflammation & being essential for tumorigenesis & colorectal tumor growth!

We welcome you to the next Immune Alliance Seminar, this time with Keishi Fujio (Tokyo) and Ulf Panzer (Hamburg). The lecture takes place on march 19, 2025, 9am (in Germany)/5pm (in Japan), via zoom. Everyone is welcome to join. Registration is free. Register via www.dgfi.org/immune-alliance/

Join EFIS on 4 April for an encounter dedicated to exploring - from an immunological standpoint - the unresolved issues and misconceptions of COVID-19 vaccination five years after the WHO declaration of the pandemic. Program: www.efis.org/.../Reaction.... Register: www.efis.org/events/efis-...

Nature research paper: TGFβ links EBV to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children https://go.nature.com/43HJ4pu

Rätsel um PIMS-Erkrankungen bei Kindern gelöst#Corona#PIMS#Kindergesundheit

How does SARS-CoV-2 lead to the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, a rare, potentially fatal condition? www.nature.com/articles/s41... High levels of TGFβ interfere with the child's response to control Epstein Barr virus, leading to its reactivation and severe inflammation @nature.com

‼️ Cause of post-#COVID inflammatory shock in children identified: Reactivation of the Epstein-Barr virus appears to cause the rare condition #MISC. The findings, uncovered by a team from #CharitéBerlin & @drfzberlin.bsky.social, have now been published in @nature.com www.charite.de/en/service/p...

Our latest study in @nature.com reveals how #TGFβ drives Epstein-Barr Virus (#EBV) reactivation in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in #children (#MISC, #PIMS) following #COVID19. @drfzberlin.bsky.social @mashreghilab.bsky.social 🔗 Read here:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08697-6
