I'm excited to share our latest paper published in @CEIjournal 'Splenectomy modulates the immune response but does not prevent joint inflammation in a mouse model of RA' #autoimmunity #rheumatoid_arthritis #immunology #splenectomy https://t.co/iZlSO3Nnfi

Ultimate respect. 🤝

This is how @FIFAWorldCup debutants Jordan left their changing room after their match against Algeria 🥹🇯🇴

[Visit Jordan @VisitJordan]

From Amman’s Roman Theatre, Jordanians gathered from the early morning to support Al-Nashama.

In one of the capital’s most historic landmarks, the crowd turned the match into a moment of pride, joy, and national spirit.

From the nearly 2,000 years old Roman Theatre … the story was Jordanian in every detail. 🇯🇴

This is the first promo/teaser for my forthcoming documentary film series, ‘The Palestine Laboratory’, made with the great UK production company @FilmsBlackleaf and broadcast on @AJEnglish.

Episode 1 is broadcast on 30th January, 2025, with Episode 2 following at the same time on the 6th February. Both episodes will be available on Al Jazeera’s website and YouTube (for free and complete global access).

The Palestine Laboratory is a ground-breaking two-part series (2 x 47 mins) that’s based on my global best-selling @versobooks @scribepub book of the same name.

In Part 1, in Israel and Palestine, I examine how the country positions itself as a world leader in hi-tech weapons and surveillance technology, with glossy promotions from the top weapons manufactures that boast their products have been “tested” and “proven” in “battle”.

Hearing from both Israelis and Palestinians, I explore how the industry understands what labels like “tested” in Palestine means and how the military intelligence Unit 8200 acts as an incubator for Israeli surveillance tech start ups. I also examines Israel’s use of AI targeting systems in Gaza.

In Part 2, the investigation takes me on an international journey through Europe, India, Mexico, South Africa and the USA as I reveal how this “technology of occupation” is also used to subjugate people and surveil political dissidents, human rights defenders and journalists all over the world.

This has been a massive, worldwide investigation, initiated in 2022 before my book was even released (though it was all filmed in 2024), with a huge team of remarkable researchers, producers, photographers, journalists and cinematographers. Most can’t be named due to legitimate fears for their safety and future work opportunities. I thank them all for their dedication and commitment to getting this timely story out.

Much more in the coming weeks with clips, photos and information.

Please share far and wide. Independent journalism can only thrive with your support.

New study led by Lina Petersone now in @JExpMed . Cytokine IL-21 from Tfh promotes germinal center (GC) responses & is overproduced in #autoimmune diseases. We found IL-21R deficiency led to a GC dark zone defect in autoimmune and immunisation settings 1/4 https://t.co/73WgdiffxX

@EsamKhanfar et al. suggest that absence of the spleen was compensated by other peripheral lymphoid organs

(1/3) Why is BCL6 absolutely required in T cells to support germinal center formation? Is it all because BCL6 specifies T cell fate in a strictly cell-intrinsic manner? Please check our latest work online @ImmunityCP. Link and bullet points below.
