New research in @cp-immunity.bsky.social finds that heterozygosity for Crohn's disease risk allele of ATG16L1 promotes unique protein interactions & protects against bacterial infection ft. Brittany Miller, Isabel Vargas & @cadwelllab.bsky.social (@PennGIHep) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Journal Club Time📰: A new publication from @cp-immunity.bsky.social showed that therapy-induced tumor and non-tumor cells actively released mtDNA into the extracellular environment, which resulted in enhanced immunosuppressive activity of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells.

"A rare genetic mutation known as APOE3-R136S, or the “Christchurch mutation,” appears to protect against #AlzheimersDisease by suppressing inflammatory signaling in the brain’s immune cells." Learn More in Immunity @cellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

Compromised generation of functional CD8 T memory in absence of CD4 T cell help is not permanent but rather a transient state of delayed memory maturation www.cell.com/immunity/ful... @cp-immunity.bsky.social

So proud to share my first first-author paper from my postdoc in @liganlab.bsky.social out yesterday in @cp-immunity.bsky.social! We characterized a model of the APOE3 Christchurch mutation on a tauopathy background and found downregulation of cGAS-STING-IFN pathway as a source of protection!

🚨Our new paper is out!🚨 We uncover a protective mechanism of the rare APOE3 Christchurch (R136S) mutation against tauopathy—by suppressing microglial cGAS–STING–interferon (IFN) pathway, a key inflammatory axis triggered by tau. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our new paper out this week shows that antibodies don’t just get better at what they already recognize—turns out they can learn something entirely new. This expands how we think about the adaptive immune system’s creative potential. #Immunology #Bcells #SHM #AffinityBirth #AntibodyEvolution

Our new Immunity paper is in print—and that an oil painting I made was chosen for the cover 😊 It visualizes “affinity birth,” the generative force of SHM creating new antibody specificities beyond V(D)J. #Immunology #AffinityBirth #SciArt #Bcells #SHM

Check out our June issue! Cover is an oil-on-canvas painting by Duane Wesemann ‪depicting the concept of "affinity birth" as a rising sun, with vibrant rays radiating outward as spectral representations of newly generated affinities ‪@affinityborn.bsky.social‬ www.cell.com/immunity/iss...

It was a huge pleasure to write this spotlight commentary together with @inflammasomelab.bsky.social and @JaredCoombs on the recent Cell paper of Xingbin Hu lab on spectosis in red blood cells! Congrats to all the authors for their novel and elegant study in discovery miniNLRP3 signaling in RBC 👇
