Happy to share our @AnnualReviews in collaboration with Musa Mhlanga @Radboud_Uni discussing Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Innate Memory Responses and raising more questions than answers! doi.org/10.1146/annure…
🚨 Excited to announce the publication of @sarahjiesun's PhD work in @ImmunityCP!🚨Key finding: BCG vaccination reprograms the epigenetic landscape of human bone marrow progenitor cells, reshaping innate immune responses. Full study here in open access: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jcFF3qNrUxu…
We thank Drs Wager and Schlesinger @TexasBiomed for writing this great editorial @elife highlighting the downside of trained immunity in Sepsis Acute Lung Injury: The double-edged nature of trained immunity doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…
Happy to share our recent paper in @eLife showing the detrimental effects of β-Glucan in a murine LPS-model of lung injury This study was led by Renaud from @chubordeauxfr and incredible collaborators @erwan_pernet @kimaimytran Dr Poschmann @NantesUniv doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…
In a new paper, we hypothesize that intradermal administration of BCG to the human newborn leads to low-grade bacteremia and that this systemic dissemination improves protection against tuberculosis. The hypothesis is based on supporting observations including animal and human…
