🧠🧬 Psoriasis: Unraveling the Causes of Chronic Itching @belkaidlab.bsky.social and Institut Pasteur researchers show that an excessive immune response to skin microbes activates the IL‑17A pathway in nerves, leading to chronic itch and nerve regrowth. 👉 www.pasteur.fr/en/home/rese...

ICYMI: Renaissance of antiviral CD8+ T cell immunity in vaccination and disease

Meet Molly Ingersoll, microbiologist & immunologist. Her work shows how women and men can respond very differently to infections, and why sex-specific treatments are urgently needed. She also speaks up about the invisible hurdles women face in science. Follow her here @immunobladder.bsky.social
