A new paper from Vanessa Sancho-Shimizu and colleagues, reporting the finding of rare BTNL8 variants in MIS-C. 👏

We reported recessive DBR1 deficiency underlying brainstem viral encephalitis in humans in 2018 (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) then 2024 (rupress.org/jem/article/22…). The molecular mechanism remained mysterious. Here it comes. Congrats to Daxing and team for the great findings!!!

Insights by Erika Valeri & @KajasteLab: Two works by Chan et al. (hubs.la/Q02-JGLM0), and Ru et al. (hubs.la/Q02-JK4r0), identify defective RNA processing as the root cause of impaired antiviral immunity against #SARSCoV2 in the human brainstem. hubs.la/Q02-JRPf0


A very insightful editorial written by Erika Valeri and @KajasteLab: Antiviral immunity lassoed down by excess RNA. So grateful to Journal of Experimental Medicine and the authors for highlighting our findings about human DBR1 deficiency. rupress.org/jem/article/22…

1/ I am excited to share our new paper from Casanova Lab published today in Journal of Experimental Medicine about humans with autosomal dominant IFNAR1 deficiency (doi.org/10.1084/jem.20…).


Welcome to the future of #HumanImmunity research! Rockefeller U. Press and the International Alliance for Primary Immunodeficiency Societies (#IAPIDS) are launching the Journal of Human Immunity (JHI)! Stay tuned for groundbreaking, #OpenAccess research! 👉 hubs.la/Q032QmF50



Congratulations to Rockefeller's Jean-Laurent Casanova (Casanova Lab) for winning the prestigious Novo Nordisk Prize!


1/ One of the most intriguing enigmas of the #COVID19 pandemic was the sudden and unprecedented outbreak of chilblains that accompanied the early waves of #SARSCoV2 infections. Our new study in Journal of Experimental Medicine uncovers the underlying immunological mechanism rupress.org/jem/article/22…
