In collaboration with the Moody, Elewaut and Godfrey labs, we describe a new class of headless lipids that act as NKT cell ligands. We also describe the molecular bases underpinning this recognition pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Monash Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences Brigham and Women’s Research University of Melbourne Monash University

Beautiful data showing how HPV vaccines prevent cancer. Keep in mind, the vaccines show effects even if given a little later in life and they work not just against cervical cancer but basically all HPV-caused cancers.

Long-term ART was associated with a process of clonal succession, which effectively rejuvenated HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cell populations in the face of immune senescence Nature Immunology nature.com/articles/s4159…

Lots of interesting stuff here. Helps resolve some of the controversies with memory differentiation and provides more support for asymmetric cell division as a key mechanism for memory formation

Exciting discovery! 🌊🔬 A bacterium found in a marine sponge from the Great Barrier Reef shows remarkable similarity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the pathogen responsible for TB. These findings inform future research & treatment strategies 🌍💡doherty.edu.au/news-events/ne…
