A great summary of our Science Immunology paper looking at the impact of prior helminth infection on #COVID19 in mice

NZ’s first trial of a novel CAR T-cell therapy has shown the promise of being safer than leading commercial CAR T-cell products in treating certain types of blood cancer, while remaining effective fabio galante malaghan.org.nz/news-and-repor…


Bacterial-induced or passively administered IFNγ conditions the lung for early control of SARS-CoV-2 #AlanSher Kerry Hilligan nature.com/articles/s4146…

Drs. Alan Sher and Kerry Hilligan lead NIH researchers in 🔎 studying the role of ongoing type-2 interferon responses to pre-established bacterial #infection on #SARSCoV2 disease outcomes in two 🐭 murine models. 📖 More details in Nature Communications | go.nature.com/3TjREWn





Great to catch up with Alan Sher, visiting Lydia Becker Institute while in the UK on sabbatical The Powrie Lab. Fantastic seminar about #BCG induced IFN-g priming the lung for innate control of SARS-CoV-2 infection as part of our British Society for Immunology seminar series. Thanks Alan! 🫁 🦠


Scientists at NIAID News examined the roles of the prototypic pro- and anti-🌡️ #inflammatory cytokines IFNγ and IL-10 using the rhesus macaque model of mild #COVID19. 👇 Check out their discovery on the role of IFNγ in lung lesions. PLOS Pathogens | bit.ly/4f177To
