@globalimmuno @Honda1Kenya Thank you for a fantastic #globalimmuno talk! Incredible how bile acid metabolite inhibition of G+ bacteria is effective. Wondering if there might be a parallel way to target G- bacteria, such as the (in)famous Vibrio Cholerae.

@JenGommerman Disconsolate not to have been able to participate…☹️. Maybe next time 😊

The saga of Il-24 in Th17 continues! Important next step in mechanistic understanding after our recent Immunity paper (PMID 32673565).

[Journal of Experimental Medicine @JExpMed]

Sie, Kant, et al. show that Th17 cells restrain their own pathogenicity by producing IL-24, which induces IL-10 in a cell-intrinsic manner. https://t.co/oLVNNLAB4M

Excited to share our review on Mucosal Immunology of the Ocular Surface! Just published in Mucosal Immunology @MucosalImmunol with Cintia de Paiva @de_Paiva_Lab and Anthony St Leger @ASL5638000. https://t.co/dvNQ8gAwhv.

Worth a second look! (pun intended). Congratulations for a really cool study, @OlegButovsky!

@globalimmuno @DonnaFarber3 As you have shown, there is a progression in the composition of the memory compartment over life. Do you have any data from adult or aged recipients of bone marrow transplants, whether and how they reproduce the progression from a totally naïve system to more adult-like?

[Rachel Caspi @rcaspi]

@globalimmuno @DonnaFarber3 We assume that the transcriptome does not change after death. But the increasingly hypoxic tissue environment while the cells are still transcriptionally active may change expression of at least some genes. Have you done studies comparing cells from living donors vs cadavers?

@vdlorenzo_CNB @Nature https://t.co/pEhJvUpUmd says “no”. Taxpayer money will not be used to support this practice.

Seriously… is anybody surprised?
