A new #mRNA-LNP approach can target and reprogram cytotoxic effector T cells in vivo in preclinical models, highlighting the potential for future treatments against infection, cancer, and autoimmunity. @angelarcorrigan @BettsLab @WeissmanLab

Immune perturbations in human pancreas lymphatic tissues prior to and after type 1 diabetes onset https://t.co/vtaHhfU6oA

[karen @karenwong1013]

hello i published this paper today

proud of this one - it truly turned out cooler than even the most optimistic version of myself thought it would when the project started

also i'm defending in 2 days so if you don't feel like reading just come hear me tell you about it! 🙂

[Marcus Buggert @marcus_buggert]

Thrilled to unveil our review on "Human circulating and tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells," published in @NatImmunol.

Our latest paper just published @NatImmunol: First single cell ATACseq-based definition of HIV reservoirs ex vivo! https://t.co/l1JO2QUB3Z

Congratulations to Vincent Wu @vincewu9 and Laura Vella @LauraVella17

[Vincent Wu @vincewu9]

Come see what I’ve been up to these past few years! DM for Zoom link :)

Extensive heterogeneity of the HIV-1 infected CD4+ T-cell reservoir revealed by single-cell viral ASAPseq https://t.co/ZbNXuUEpFG

[Marcus Buggert @marcus_buggert]

New work from us. Identification of functional resident memory CD8+ T cells against SARS-CoV-2 in tonsils collected prior to the pandemic. The same type of responses are not found in blood. Location matters! https://t.co/Kwuu2Yvh6q

I came so close to being famous last week! I am the “Doc” he referred to in the audience during his speech. I speak, I get heckled. He speaks next and gets in Newsweek. Maybe next time I will wear my Gritty costume. https://t.co/5Uz8aYUNsh

More great work from the Penn COVID research team! Deep immune profiling of MIS-C demonstrates marked but transient immune activation compared to adult and pediatric COVID-19 https://t.co/6tKXqaHQaO

[Dr. Liz Anderson @EMAndersonPhD]

Very excited that our paper on pre-existing cross-reactive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is out now in @CellCellPress! Here is an excellent summary of our findings by @SCOTTeHENSLEY. Grateful for being able to do team science during a pandemic @PennMedicine

@Hamad_JHU_Lab @Bruskolab @HamadlabH Finally in reply to the two questions about Figure 2A and 2C: these are just representative analyses of data from Penn vs. UFDI. They are NOT the same donors between sites, hence the differences in frequency. The data in 2B and 2D is what is important for comparison

[Betts Lab @BettsLab]

@Hamad_JHU_Lab @Bruskolab @HamadlabH I stand by our team and their findings and we will provide our data for analysis by the scientific community for their own judgement. Reproducibility is critical, and in the case we could not confirm DE cells as a biomarker of T1D, or clone X as a public clone.

[Todd M. Brusko @Bruskolab]

Pleased to share our co-authored report that resulted from a collaboration between nPOD (UF) and HPAP (UPenn) contradicting the original findings by Hamad et al. TCR /BCR dual-expressing cells and their associated public BCR clonot... https://t.co/uY8xH3Vcva

@IF91 @albertojapp @CellCellPress Julie's paper is now published in Cytometry: https://t.co/VEmeQnbB39

And yes, she showed many of these cells are just complexes

[Betts Lab @BettsLab]

After a year in review at Cell, finally have this published! Congrats Alberto!
