While T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are key to immunity, self-reactive Tfh cells can promote autoantibody production. Read a review on the role of Tfh cells in several primary immune regulatory disorders and their potential utility as disease biomarkers. https://t.co/CYrLc4PDHD
Limited clinical tools exist for characterizing primary immune regulatory disorders. A study’s findings suggest that integrating CD4+ T-cell phenotyping and total burden of autoantibodies could enhance disease detection. Learn more. https://t.co/CFmVvGse5b
A reminder for this back-to-school season:
#Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world. So contagious that if an infected child walked into a classroom, EVERY unvaccinated child in that classroom will most certainly be infected as well.

What is the connection between different common viral pathogens and cytokine storm syndromes? New findings suggest that Epstein-Barr virus infection uniquely triggers high levels of multiple cytokines and chemokines. Here’s the Editors’ Choice paper. https://t.co/WmcRIai6YM
Your lungs make blood too. UCSF scientists just discovered lung stem cells that produce blood, just like bone marrow. This could change how we treat blood and immune disorders. https://t.co/7k7L9iOmDj
So I am at my desk glued to my screen watching Idina and Kristen belt out #DefyingGravity (and of course I was mouthing the words), and 5 minutes in I notice my attending standing next to me waiting to chat. Where is a flying broom when you need one 🥲
Our latest review is just out in @jacionline.
JAK-STAT signaling pathway, immunodeficiency, inflammation, immune dysregulation, and inborn errors of immunity - Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology https://t.co/pPx4nsO2aY
Written was a partnership between @UBC and @NIH.
Below is an exhibit of naive T cells that just graduated from thymus school! @ClinImmSoc. @Andrewwwp@EilafFallatah
(Finally an excuse for me to use ALL the immuno metaphors my heart desires)
Neffy epinephrine nasal spray was approved by the FDA today. This provides the first epinephrine product for treatment of anaphylaxis that does not require an injection. Read the FDA announcement https://t.co/JqiVZS6K37
