IgD from atypical-like memory #Bcells and #plasmacells targets commensal and environmental antigens. New study by @rosertp.bsky.social, Bashour, Filipska, and colleagues from the @victorgreiff.bsky.social & Cerutti labs at the Uni of Oslo & @researchmar.bsky.social: rupress.org/jem/article-...

@kimljacobson.bsky.social discusses Tachó-Piñot, Bashour, Filipska, et al’s new @jem.org study (doi.org/10.1084/jem....) showing that mutated IgD+ B cell subsets populate epithelial areas of nasopharyngeal mucosa, ready to tackle a multitude of antigenic targets. rupress.org/jem/article/...

New study: @rosertp.bsky.social, Bashour, Filipska, et al (@victorgreiff.bsky.social & Cerutti labs, Uni Oslo & @researchmar.bsky.social) show IgD responses involve a heterogenous pop. of IgD class-switched memory #Bcells from epithelial areas of aerodigestive mucosa. rupress.org/jem/article-...

Congrats to former lab member @rosertp.bsky.social on this new work in @jem.org

In @jem.org: @rosertp.bsky.social, Bashour, Filipska, et al (@victorgreiff.bsky.social & Cerutti labs, Uni Oslo & @researchmar.bsky.social) show IgD responses involve a heterogenous pop. of IgD class-switched memory #Bcells from epithelial areas of aerodigestive mucosa rupress.org/jem/article-...

Thrilled to see our IgD work come out in @jem.org! We uncover how nasopharyngeal tonsils generate IgD responses via mutated IgD class-switched B cells, primed to recognise diverse environmental antigens — shedding light on mucosal immunity & tolerance. 👉 Have a look: doi.org/10.1084/jem....

Extremely thankful to get the opportunity to present my work at the WIRM! #WIRM2025

Our new publication on BCR sequencing in ME/CFS, adding to the evidence of an increased usage of IGHV3-30. Much more immunological research is needed to understand the many lines of evidence indicating immune-mediated or autoimmune components to the disease. www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...

Wondering if you should get up early for your vaccine for the best immune response? Kai-Michael Tollner's recent paper with the University of Birmingham says don't bother if you're under 60!

Grateful to see @retractionwatch.com share our story! Learn more about the launch of Journal of Human Immunity, why our editors made the move, and what’s next for our nonprofit journal with @rupress.org. Insights from our EiC @casanovalab.bsky.social here: retractionwatch.com/2025/02/06/e...

Our very own Laura Shuttleworth talked about her brilliant research last night at the @crick.ac.uk for Sofar Sounds, sharing the stage with musicians and poets, and bringing science closer to society.

Working in Antarctica, scientists have drilled the world’s oldest continuous ice core, 2690 meters long and holding an unbroken history of the atmosphere going back 1.2 million years. Learn more in this week’s News at a glance. ⬇️

This is a super interesting (IMO) study on how T cells can repress out of control B cell responses, particularly relevant to autoimmunity and lymphomagenesis #Immunosky #lymphomasky www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with the International Alliance for Primary Immunodeficiency Societies (#IAPIDS) to launch the Journal of Human Immunity (JHI) @jhumimmunity.org (https://buff.ly/3PAEMrK)! Groundbreaking, #OpenAccess research on #HumanImmunity 👉 https://buff.ly/4ajqm8W

There's a lot of replies to our new paper talking about how capitalism or overpopulation are the real enemy. Without getting into whether that's true of the climate emergency or the sixth mass extinction (🙃), I want to briefly explain why pandemics are different. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Bad news for climate just announced! In 2024, Earth's average temperature temporarily exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. This breach highlights accelerating climate risks - toward the end of the "safe zone" defined by the Paris Agreement.🧪🌐🌍 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What a great way to start this account and end the week: our preprint describing how dermal γδ T cells mediate a skin-lung axis during parasite infection in mice is online! I'm excited to show the findings of my main postdoc project with @profjudiallen.bsky.social!🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Global sea-ice extent ranked by month from 1979 through 2024. Nothing blue since since 2015! Within the recent nine years, every month has experienced a record-low extent. 🌊🧪⚒️📉

AI data centers are multiplying across the U.S. and sucking up huge amounts of power. New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans

Not only will this create a network effect, but because bioRxiv is intended to be an enabling platform that stimulates evolution, it will allow _other people_ to do great things e.g. connect.biorxiv.org/news/2021/05... 2/2

Hi 👋🏼 The Vinuesa lab has arrived at BlueSky! Follow us if you want to talk about all the exciting science going on in autoimmunity, genetics, and anything B cell-related 🧬 🧪

Having a color-blind colleague is a good reminder that we need to be more careful when designing figures for scientific publication 🧪 My lab has found this page especially useful for selecting color palettes, used in combination with different symbols: thenode.biologists.com/data-visuali...

go.bsky.app/7zMmwNY Hi all, so nice to cross over to the light. Here is a starter pack for all things Mucosal Immunology! Exciting to create a MI community here. Let me know if you would like to join 👍

Periodic reminder: a lot of what makes AI "work" is exploited people doing the tasks, just hidden behind fancy websites. It's good that a normie outlet like 60 Minutes is reporting on this.

The human proteomic revolution proceeds with high-throughput assessment, AI analytics, correlation with health and disease, drug interactions, biomarkers www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Gut IgA1 and IgA2 subclasses co-emerge early in life, largely derive from clonally related and somatically mutated plasma cells in adults, and show unique changes of both frequency and reactivity in IBD @gmagrilab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1084/jem....
