We observed greater #epigenetic age acceleration in multiple clocks decades later among children of mothers who performed #agricultural fieldwork during their pregnancy, independent of socioeconomic and environmental influences. Highlights the need to protect #farmworkers health

Early in the pandemic, kids were hospitalized with a mysterious disease, MIS-C. A team led by Aaron Bodansky, MD Mark Anderson Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network discovered how mild COVID led to MIS-C, hinting at what might go wrong in autoimmune diseases like #MS.

Molecular mimicry in MIS-C From UC San Francisco and others across 🇺🇸: "findings suggest patients w/ MIS-C develop characteristic immune response to SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein associated w/cross-reactivity to self-protein SNX8 demonstrating mechanistic link." nature.com/articles/s4158…

Health and Economic Benefits of Routine Childhood Immunizations🇺🇸1994–2023 "childhood vaccinations prevented ~508M illnesses, 32M hospitalizations, and 1,129,000 deaths, resulting in direct savings of $540 billion and societal savings of $2.7 trillion." cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
