Can immunology still surprise itself? https://t.co/FtBXr8FUlP

Can someone start a journal called “Cell Atlases” so that the rest of the journals can go back to publishing interesting things?

Nature research paper: Peripheral immune-inducer dendritic cells drive early-life allergic inflammation

https://t.co/v5NJohp8Om

[Dr. Shruti Naik @DrShrutiNaik]

Our new Nature study, lead by @yuexing identifies a brief early-life window when skin dendritic cells sense common allergens and trigger inflammation right in the skin without migrating to lymph nodes. We define this in-situ activation state as peripheral immune inducer (pii)DC, and show it emerges because of a still-maturing HPA axis and low systemic glucocorticoids. #Naiklab

👉Key takeaways:
1. Early-life immunity plays by different rules. During this window, innate responses to allergens in skin are heighted.
2. Hormones shape immunity in real time. Developmental neuroendocrine states profoundly tune how the immune system reacts, and can set the stage for inflammatory disease.

You should be so lucky to have people throughout your research career that you can openly bounce ideas to and from - especially if they complement your strengths in your areas of weakness - it is a rare and precious gift.

A new Yale study shows for the first time that immune-system T cells are present in the brain, sent by the gut to a region that regulates hunger and thirst — a finding about T-cell physiology “that changes everything,” says one researcher: https://t.co/qkfBY46mWh #Yale

Misinformation is winning not because it's true, but because it’s loud, emotional, and everywhere.
It’s time for science to fight back. Aaron Mertz and I dissect the issue and offer solutions 👇

Today we report Evo, a generalist foundation model for biology, on the cover of @ScienceMagazine. Trained on billions of DNA nucleotides, Evo was designed to capture two key aspects of biology: the multi-modality of the central dogma and the multi-scale nature of evolution.
