[Tsinghua University @Tsinghua_Uni]

Prof. Chen Ning Yang, a world-renowned physicist, Nobel Laureate in Physics, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor at Tsinghua University, and Honorary Director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Tsinghua University, passed away in Beijing due to illness at the age of 103. His life stands as a timeless chapter in human history—one that shines not only for China but for the global community of thinkers and innovators. His legacy will live on forever.

@globalimmuno @immunospeaker That was a wonderful talk! I wonder if you see those triads in autoimmune diseases?

[Xin Liu @xil2020]

An interesting mechanism for central tolerance. It echoes with the recent study from Hai @Qi_Tsinghua , that a significant portion of spontaneous Tfh and Tfr cells recognizes B cell-derived antigens.

Big congrats to Elisa on both! 🥳
It's always interesting to see how T cells interact with their targets.

[The Morgan Huse Laboratory @huselab]

It’s been quite a month for the Huse lab’s own Dr. Elisa Sanchez! A brand new baby girl (Amelia) and a brand new paper in Nature Immunology about how cytotoxic T cells release dying target cells. Read more about it here:

Killer T cells are beautiful! This high resolution/rapid acquisition video of a T cell attacking a lymphoma cancer cell was captured on a specialized Lattice Light Sheet microscope with the help of my wonderful collaborators @HHMIJanelia. See more details in the thread below.

@huselab @ScienceTM Congratulations!

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

Concerns about the staying power of Covid-19 immunity “are confused and mistaken,” write @VirusesImmunity and @RMedzhitov https://t.co/s243mF4NqU

[Xin Liu @xil2020]

We proposed similar studies at the beginning of February but got turned down by the university (no surprise). Glad that this is done by people more skilled and resouceful. And this could well be the first "real" and specific treatment against Covid-19.

[Xin Liu @xil2020]

Would be interesting to see the results. I am always wondering about the variability in different people. But what if previous immunity to other coronavirus is a stronger factor?

[Casanova Lab @casanova_lab]

I'm delighted to share the pre-print of the "manifesto" of our #COVID19 Human Genetic Effort, which was posted online by Cell https://t.co/8Y2ReDKhO2 Thoughts, hands, suggestions, critiques, samples, reagents, and even funds welcome 😀 #Covid_19 #coronavirus @CellPressNews
