Super interesting paper on Novel #Genetic Loci for Nontuberculous #Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease. I'm glad to see that part of the validation was performed using our previous published data. Enjoy the paper! atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/...

Finally officially out in the latest issue of @cp-cell.bsky.social as a #free #featured #LeadingEdge paper: everything you wanted to know about #InterferonPower! ❤️ @danielboehmer.bsky.social @bostonchildrens.bsky.social @harvardmed.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

"For half an hour, I vented everything I had been holding in for months … my supervisor … then calmly offered a line I’ll never forget: 'You are here to learn to ride a bicycle, not to invent a bicycle.' That one sentence landed softly, but it cracked something open." https://scim.ag/4lt1Ru0

Our latest work on how nerves safeguard lung fibrosis. Congrats to Dr. Hiroki and collaborators. @cp-immunity.bsky.social @kavithascranton.bsky.social @hotchkissbrain.bsky.social @ucalgary.bsky.social @ucalgarymed.bsky.social @libininstitute.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

Super interesting. Does it work for NTM?

I’m happy to share our latest work on tumour necrosis! During my time in the @megeblad.bsky.social lab, we found that tumour necrosis is not a passive phenomenon secondary to tumour growth, but an active phenomenon driven by neutrophils and NETs! Thread below: (1/13) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Super happy to have attended “The Nontuberculous #Mycobacteria Conference 2025” in Fort Collins! Great talks, outstanding science, and a really cool location. Huge thanks to the organizers. Always a pleasure to reconnect with friends and colleagues! #ntm

What a great day to be at @childrensphila.bsky.social and @pennmedicine.bsky.social Published today: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

#WeekendRead #NoTimeToDie! Matt, Better &co show @ Science Immunology that efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils (not epithelial cells) by alveolar macrophages reprograms their metabolism, boosting glutaminolysis & decreasing ROS, thus favoring repair but facilitating secondary bacterial infections

Totally agree! “The term antibiotic—literally "opposing life", from the Greek roots ἀντι anti, "against" and βίος bios, "life"…..” I hope to work in this field in the future!

Fahd Al Qureshah, @casanovalab.bsky.social, Qian Zhang et al. show that a common form of dominant human IFNAR1 deficiency impairs IFN-α and -ω but not IFN-β-dependent immunity. rupress.org/jem/article/... 📘In Genes & Immunity collection: rupress.org/jem/collecti... #HKS2025

Ready for the #telethon 2025 scientific convention! #Rimini #italy

Excited to share our last study. Huge congrats to Sarah Monard, Arnaud Métais, @gclugo.bsky.social, @chrisverollet.bsky.social and all colleagues! We have found a mysterious cell type inside TB lung lesions that seems neuron-like but isn't quite a nerve cell. Let's dive in👇 shorturl.at/x4Sb5

#interferon history is immunology history! the original cytokine :)

[January 16th, 1980] Scientists at Biogen have successfully produced human interferon, a natural virus fighter, in a laboratory using gene-splicing techniques, potentially making it a more affordable treatment for various viral infections and cancers. #history #1980s

"If I had to name a person who has done more for the benefit of human health, with less recognition than anyone else, it would be Maurice Hilleman."—Richard Gallo

Hello @bsky.app 🦋! We’re the European Society of Mycobacteriology (ESM) on a mission to decode the mysteries of mycobacteria 🦠🔬. Stay tuned for exciting research, TB updates, and more. Let’s shape the future of global health together!

Super cool work! Congrats to the authors. Spatial bacterial transcriptomics is coming up! “Highly multiplexed #spatial transcriptomics in #bacteria” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Great recent work from Sanika Vaidya and Knut Drescher Lab Mammalian innate immunity recognizes bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (PG) via TLR2 Turns out multiple bacteria also sense PG from their lysed compatriots as a danger signal to trigger biofilm formation! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I have position for research assistant in my Lab at Ospedale San Raffaele in Milan. Please spread the voice and drop me a message if interested

Climate change is driving global extinction risks, with 1.6% of species threatened at 1.3°C of warming and risks escalating to 29.7% at 5.4°C, according to a new meta-analysis in Science encompassing more than 30 years of research. Read more:

Repost in Bluesky. Our paper on #Dual spatial gene expression approach to dissect #host-#bacteria interaction in respiratory infections. rdcu.be/dWuBQ

An essay in Nature discusses how it’s an astonishing achievement that all of statistics and much of science depends on probability considering no one’s sure what it is. 🧪

#LocationLocationLocation! Burrows, Mortha &co show @cellcellpress.bsky.social that a gut commensal protozoan induces ILC2 migration from the gut to the lung & interaction with T & B cells, recruiting lung eosinophils that shield the vasculature aggravating #asthma but protecting from #Mycobacterium

Best #Nikolaus 🎅! Our paper on how the 🫁 microenvironment can shape #innate immunity against #viruses is out @sciimmunology.bsky.social This was a herculean effort brilliantly led by @pauljbaker.bsky.social who singlehandedly established the model in the lab during the pandemic. 🧪 #Immunosky 1/9

Excited to share our work on broadly effective phage-antibiotic cocktails. We report 4 cocktails that each work against 96% of 153 antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas isolates. Check it out here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congrats to Kevin Kim @KevinMinyo6651
