Dr. Theo Moraes, study co-author and clinician scientist @SickKidsNews, says that among entire cohort of children, a statistical difference in asthma is only seen at age 3, not age 5, for those living with gas stoves versus electric stoves. #IMSFaculty https://t.co/MLvoxvE71N

[Dr. Jen Gommerman @JenGommerman]

A big moment for me: I started as an u/g then grad student in Immunology @UofT. After 20 years of running my lab @uoftmedicine, alongside my friends and colleagues I am now excited to lead the Dept as Chair. Thank you all my mentors, family and friends for support along the way.

An alternative path to oral tolerance. Carmen H. Li, Ekaterina Kabak, Thomas Eiwegger

Read the article here 👉https://t.co/EjHhecZOBQ

This is an article from our category “News and views: Groundbreaking discoveries in #immunology”, where articles published in other top-tier journals are highlighted. Li et al. discuss a recently published paper in Nature (2022;607(7920):762-768) describing novel mechanisms explaining the normal immune tolerance to foreign proteins in food. Some of these subsets can even suppress inflammation depending on the microenvironment of the gut.

There is growing appreciation of the heterogeneity of type 2 immunity in food allergy & how type 2 #cytokines from distinct cell types contribute to pathogenesis. A new review @JExpMed from M. Cecilia Berin @BerinLab @NUFeinbergMed: https://t.co/1SWBGtlF6o

A small company develops what would become the world's bestselling prescription drug.

The drug, it turns out, degrades into a probable carcinogen.

The company knows this but says nothing.

For 40 years.
