THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

Rockefeller hearts science! This heart-shaped germinal center comes from the @victora.bsky.social lab, which studies how antibodies are generated in response to infection and immunization. Happy Valentine’s Day! 📷: Carla Nowosad

Funny that the $4B they want to save is the same amount SpaceX got last year in gov't contracts. That even paid the SpaceX CEO $4M! Rockets might be cool and all, but if choosing between rockets and life-saving medicine..You know, maybe the rich guy who wants to play with rockets should pay himself.

I’ve been seething and grieving since yesterday’s Friday Night Massacre of NIH overheads, a seeming bit of bureaucratic trivial that will in fact destroy the US university system if unchecked. But I want to get away from budgets and rate breakdowns and F&A percentages for a moment. Humor me?

Rockefeller's @cicacanesso.bsky.social talks to The Scientist about her recent work with @danmucida.bsky.social and @victora.bsky.social on how cell-cell interactions help drive tolerogenic or inflammatory responses to the maelstrom of antigens passing through the gut.

New research from AAI members @danmucida.bsky.social and @victora.bsky.social @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social unlocked new clues on the mechanism behind food tolerance. Their findings show the delicate balance between tolerating food and defending against infections. Read more: ow.ly/LaP550UQwFJ.

A study from @victora.bsky.social and @danmucida.bsky.social in @science.org reveals how immune cells in the gut distinguish between food and harmful pathogens, shedding light on the origins of both food allergies and intestinal diseases. #RockefellerScience bit.ly/4hyS18b

I hate the direction lab equipment design has gone in recent years. I don't want touchscreens, I don't want wifi integration, I don't want centrifuges demanding to know what time zone they're in. I just want reliable instruments - with physical buttons - that do the one task they were made for.

Check out our last pub. from @mfgrp.bsky.social al lab! We discovered that skin commensal microbes induce systemic and local B cell responses upon colonization and took advantage of this knowledge to create topical vaccines using engineered skin microbes. Please read the thread for details.

Max deserves a Nobel. In the meantime, you can nominate someone for the Max Cooper Prize, deadline is April 1st. "Nomination letters of up to 3 pages must articulate how their research has led to advances in immunology research that will have a lasting impact." #Immunology

Is basic science undervalued? David Glanzman (UCLA) talks about the decline of 'middle class' labs and that "there is no empirical evidence that the translational approach accomplishes this [cures] any better than the traditional one. Claims to the contrary at this point are mere propaganda."

With full acknowledgment that this may fizzle out w/o onward transmission, I hope even the slightest possibility emphasizes how important it is to have someone who believes in vaccines as head of HHS.
