@ImmunityCP reports on this fantastic conference on lymphocyte biology and immunotherapy, which I co-organized with Mark Davis, Carola Vinuesa @carovinuesa, and Laura Mackay @LMackayLab back in March. We will repeat it next year in Beijing. Stay tuned.

Scientists hate blind optimism, but love critical skepticism. But there is such a thing as blind skepticism, which is the absolute worst.

[Brian S. Kim @itchdoctor]

Treatments now increasingly focus on mechanisms—such as targeting specific molecules or neural circuits—rather than just applying standard protocols for named diseases. Successful therapies for itch, a symptom or process, for example, work by shutting down key biological processes that trigger symptoms across multiple related diseases, rather than being tied to a single diagnosis. This approach is particularly evident in the evolving treatment strategies for dermatological disorders, where the same medication can be beneficial in different conditions if they share underlying processes.

[Brian S. Kim @itchdoctor]

You don’t treat diseases, you treat processes.

Day 1, good start with Mark Davis, at the symposium "Deconstruction and reconstruction of lymphocytes for precision medicine"

[Brian S. Kim @itchdoctor]

The reality is that many neurons constantly sense and shape inflammation. I can’t believe we started by thinking it was just itch. @CChu_89

[Coco Chu @CChu_89]

@itchdoctor Thanks Brian!
