Exciting opportunities for therapies targeting EBV including anti-viral drugs and mRNA vaccines.

🥳

A warm welcome to #Neuroinflammation23 'Neurolupus & beyond' organised by Prof David Hunt Prof David Hunt and sponsored by Medical Research Foundation. We're here in the beautiful Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh looking forward to 2 days of stimulating science & interactions with colleagues from around the UK and beyond.

✨#ImmuneDictionary✨is out today in nature! Paper nature.com/articles/s4158… Software immune-dictionary.org We created scRNA-seq dictionary of 17+ immune cell types responding to 86 cytokines in vivo, discovered the immune system is far more complex than previously known 1/

Before we sign off for the holidays we wanted to share this message to all #FutureMS research participants, from the team here at the Anne Rowling Clinic & at our sites across Scotland. We are so grateful for your involvement! 🙏 Dr Niall MacDougall Prof David Hunt peter foley Patrick Kearns

1/ 📢 📰 In Journal of Experimental Medicine, we report that about 10% of children with life-threatening #COVID19 harbor auto-antibodies to type I IFNs. (rupress.org/jem/article/22…)

NEW: we don’t reflect enough on how severe the housing crisis is, and how it has completely broken the promise society made to young adults. The situation is especially severe in the UK, where the last time house prices were this unaffordable was in ... 1876.

This semester I've been teaching "Economic Inequality and Growth" at UC Berkeley. This is a thread with some of my favorite graphs. First, the headline everyone's-seen-it graph: falling then rising income inequality in Anglophone countries.

(2/2) A higher-level question. Should we continue the clinicopathological tradition of translating cytopathological patterns from postmortem brains into (1) defining "pathomechanisms" and (2) guiding the development of future treatments?

I love stories like this When the results of a new drug that prevented 100% of HIV cases were announced at the 2024 AIDS conference, the room burst into spontaneous applause

Congratulations to Patrick Patrick Kearns. Super happy to be a part of this story eLife - the journal! Kearns et al., used computational algorithms to identify new structures in SARS-CoV-2 virus proteins that might explain severity of disease as well as "long COVID" doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

New research to map immune responses to the SARS-2 virus – which caused Covid-19 – could help predict who is at risk of severe disease. Read more here: bit.ly/3Z3IL6a Patrick Kearns MRC_HGU Nick Gilbert's Lab eLife - the journal
