Shira Weingarten-Gabbay is uncovering the inner workings of viruses to help the immune system ward off diseases of today and tomorrow bit.ly/4lqdRN2

So excited to share our work bioRxiv, which shows the ribosome structure of the tick-borne pathogen Babesia divergens! Congratulations Cristina Gutierrez-Vargas Harvard Micro and Harvard Cryo-EM Center for Structural Biology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Starting a whole new research segment on social media stay tuned

Here's my advice to medical trainees 👇 Exercise. Show up on time. Call your parents. Sleep (when you can). Invest in friendships. Fight to find 'your' balance. Don't think life is zero sum. Show up early. Which is on time. Don't 'wait' to start actually living your life Find

Thank you to everyone who contributed this year!

Today I learned that while clots in veins can be caused by all sorts of things, clots in arteries are usually caused by cancer or anti-phospholipid syndrome (APLS).

How doctors spend their day off.

this week I learned about afami-cel, the first TCR T cell therapy approved. It’s used to treat metastatic synovial sarcoma. It targets HLA-A*02 expressing MAGE-A4 on cancer cells. It is essentially the first engineered cell therapy approved for solid tumors.

Rare but classic. This video shows a young woman with mucosal bleeding and a characteristic rash. Labs: severe thrombocytopenia. Can you name the clinical sign?

@DrLaurenOcasio @m1ssmommas I feel like we should make a do and don’t list for any AI bot for dummies lol

The same #virus can often cause minor sniffles in some people, but severe breathing problems in others, particularly those with #COPD or #asthma. Writing in Cell Press Blue, Ellen Foxman and colleagues reveal why: bit.ly/4qrNzNn Yale Lab Medicine Yale Department of Immunobiology

This is a super helpful visual of a blood clot, red blood cells (erythrocytes) trapped in a mesh of fibrin threads. Fibrin is a protein formed after injury to blood vessels. I tell all my friends and family of elderly patients to look out for this condition in prolonged rest.

Stanford Medicine scientists and their colleagues created the first artificial intelligence model that can predict more than 100 health conditions from one night’s sleep. brnw.ch/21wZUfM

“Doctor Lauren how close are you to losing it with vaccine deniers?”

My daily fashion choice is Uggs or crocs 😂

Reminder: the whole exercise for thirty minutes thing isn’t just lip service, the cardiac benefits are literally extending your life!

We are so back Twitter! AMA coming soon!

What people think our time off looks like vs. what they’re actually like.

A YSM team finds modifying the "internal clocks" of neutrophils, the most abundant type of WhiteBloodCell in the body, could help keep these cells from overstaying their welcome and causing damage through inflammation. Interesting read: bit.ly/4adK1cv

A new pilot clinical study just tested an intriguing Alzheimer’s idea: instead of targeting amyloid or tau, what if we target biological aging itself? They tested Senolytics, drugs that clear senescent cells. These drugs just showed they can improve cognition AND mobility!
