Lightning-fast adaptive immune receptor similarity search by symmetric deletion lookup arxiv.org/abs/2403.09010 In work led by Touchchai we show how an algorithmic paradigm from spell checking can accelerate TCR clustering by orders of magnitude

So excited for our latest story on a tunable-spectrum antibiotic to be published. We desperately need microbiome-sparing strategies to treat P. aeruginosa. Amazing effort led by the fantastic @ConnorChain

Martina's elegant new paper defines an important and under-appreciated role for molecular interactions between CDR loops of the TCR !

Andreas Tiffeau-Mayer (@andimscience) 's Twitter Profile Photo

How do interactions between hypervariable loops shape TCR specificity? Can patterns of sequence co-variation help us pair alpha-beta chains using techniques developed for co-evolving proteins? New work led by Martina Milighetti now out on bioRxiv! 👇

New major team preprint demonstrating antibodies from #longCOVID patients are sufficient to cause pathology and behavioral symptoms when transferred to mice. Importantly, they match individual patient symptoms to potential autoantigen targets and induced mouse behaviors
