Exciting new nature article on the immune cells that power your "nasal defense force" bit.ly/4c6rkVw This new #SARSCoV2 immunity discovery was led by LJI Prof. Shane Crotty and LJI Instructor Sydney Ramirez #COVID19 #antibodies #Bcells #Tcells UC San Diego

Exciting news! Our groundbreaking study La Jolla Institute on human upper airway (nasal cavity and nasopharynx--the back of the nose, where it joins the throat) immune memory is now online nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…); accompanying News by Max Kozlov 🇺🇦 (nature.com/articles/d4158…)

LJI's groundbreaking nature study (out this week) was possible thanks to clinical coordinators in our John and Susan Major Center for Clinical Investigation! Learn more about their success in pioneering a new #ImmuneCell sampling technique: bit.ly/3WNnFX5

📣Our new paper is out in Science Immunology Science Immunology. We uncovered how stem-like and effector Tph cells play distinct roles in RA pathogenesis.  🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Exciting illustration by きのしたちひろ depicting cells as robots and dogs🤖🐶

📣研究成果がScience Immunologyに掲載されました。 幹細胞様Tph細胞とエフェクターTph細胞が、関節リウマチの病態形成に異なる役割を果たすことを明らかにしました。 🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… きのしたちひろさんきのしたちひろにロボットと犬に見立てた絵を描いていただきました🤖🐶

📣Here’s an outline of our latest work published in Science Immunology! We propose that Tph cells go beyond B cell help. They can exist as a stem-like subset and can also promote inflammation as effector cells. 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 🧵👇

We had a seminar by Dr. Sydney Ramirez at our lab. Read her paper and try nasal swabbing👃 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Very excited to serve as the next Chair/Dept Head WashUMedENT!! I am truly humbled to lead this storied department and push it higher through collaboration, persistence, and innovation with our incredible faculty/staff as we advance care of #ENT patients. medicine.washu.edu/news/puram-nam…
