[National Aspergillosis Centre - INCAS trial @NACincas]

Some chronic pulmonary #aspergillosis 🫁 patients produce less of a #cytokine called #interferon gamma (#IFNg) in response to fungi

💉INCAS will test whether #IFNγ injections (alongside antifungals) can help boost their immune response

Aspergillosis is the leading cause of death in patients with the immunodeficiency disease CGD. In her exciting work, Aia Shehata (@Leibniz_HKI) uses NOX-inhibitors in monocytes to mimic the effect of CGD, and dissects their responses to A. fumigatus and C. albicans.@TRR_FungiNet
