Excited to share our new paper in @cp-immunity.bsky.social showing that "Germline-targeting HIV immunogen induces cross-neutralizing antibodies in outbred macaques" A promisingstep toward an HIV vaccine advancing soon to human clinical testing! Immunity www.cell.com/immunity/ful...
Two new KI studies published in @cp-immunity.bsky.social have mapped immune gene variation across multiple global populations and shown how these variations affect the ability to form neutralising antibodies, for example against the #influenza virus 🧪 #Immunology #Genetics news.ki.se/large-mappin...
New paper reveals how the human immune system fights #malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax, opening new avenues to develop #vaccines against the most widespread form of malaria. Published in @cp-immunity.bsky.social

Those who know me, know I’m not someone who changes his preferences & behaviors lightly. As Ron Swanson said, “I regret nothing. The end.” Well, let me tell you about our new study, out from The Perry Lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social in @cp-immunity.bsky.social, which is the exception. /1
So glad that you had a good experience! ❤️ Happy to see it out!
Excited to share my paper published today in @cp-immunity.bsky.social! We find that when CTLs integrate antigen and cytokine signaling, the timing of these cues matters - shedding light on an old question: Why do NK cells sometimes behave like CD8+ T cells?

State-specific enhancer landscapes govern microglial plasticity @cp-immunity.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/ful...
Thrilled to share our new paper on reactive microglial plasticity! Using long-term fate mapping and epigenetic profiling, we uncover the remarkable plasticity of reactive microglia across the lifespan and the enhancers and associated TFs that govern state transitions.
So excited to share with you our latest work, result of my PhD with Dr.Rejane Rua at the @ciml.bsky.social! 🍾

Our new paper reveals that chronic active MS lesions feature CD8⁺ T cell niches with lipid-laden, inflamed microglia. IFN-γ drives cholesterol buildup, linking dysregulated lipid metabolism to inflammation and meurodeg.

How is the persistence of compartmentalized inflammation sustained in MS?
Our new study in

Happy to share that our work "Amyloid-β induces lipid droplet-mediated microglial dysfunction via the enzyme DGAT2 in Alzheimer’s disease" is out now @cp-immunity.bsky.social! ➡️ www.cell.com/immunity/ful...
It was a privilege and a pleasure for both myself and @menezesnmaria.bsky.social to preview a great upcoming article in @cp-immunity.bsky.social by @kamphorstlab.bsky.social showing an unexpected inhibitory role for ICOS in exhausted CD8+ T cells.

#EpigeneticPower! 💥 #NewPaperAlert! We show @cp-immunity.bsky.social that endogenous oxidized lipids decide whether host survives or dies during #sepsis, #ARDS, or Staph infection! Ox lipids bind & inhibit #AKT, boosting inhibitory H3K27 methylation via EZH2 & blocking #IL10!
A new function for an ancient innate immune stimulus.
Zanoni et al report that oxidized lipids control IL-10 expression, impacting host defense and disease. Kudos to the authors on this important discovery www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
