MAIT cell activation profiles in the emergency department distinguish sepsis severity, with high CD69 expression linked to worse outcomes and cytokine-driven activation @ASImmunology @WileyGlobal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Lower dendritic cell levels in blood and airways predict severe COVID19, while monocytes accumulate in the lower airways. DC depletion persists in severe cases, but most immune responses recover post-infection @ASImmunology @WileyGlobal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

CAR therapy faces challenges with high relapse rates (~60%), off-tumor toxicity, and immune deficits—organ-on-chip tech offers a promising alternative to animal models for real-time testing @ASImmunology @WileyGlobal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Join us at #IUIS2025 in Vienna, Austria for an exciting plenary on Innate Immunity & Sensing of Danger with speakers, Dr. Osamu Takeuchi and Dr. Xuetao Cao! Learn more and register at iuis2025.org!

Definitely proud to be an immunologist!! Thanks for the cute little gift @ASImmunology I'll give it to the little one when he can play with it 😏

Our latest study, led by @susanna_c_, shows CD47 × PD-L1 bispecific antibodies enhance tumor-resident CD8+ T cell responses, boosting anti-tumor immunity. Grateful to partner with @PfizerOncMed to advance cancer research! 🔬 @TheDohertyInst onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
