2) the levels of IL-22Ra2 appear do not be impacted by CFTR correctors/modulators and this may explain some degree of microbial persistence. Truly a team effort with @TulaneMedicine @NJHealth @UPMC @dartmouth @NorthwesternU and @BIDharvardOHNS !

Gaffen Lab @SLG1717 led by Yang Li identifies the RNA-BP Arid5a as novel biomarker and driver of IL-17-dependent kidney #inflammation. Unexpectedly, IL-17 provokes Arid5a association with rRNAs and translational mRNAs, facilitating protein translation. hubs.la/Q02J3Y0K0

Backstory on our recent paper @JExpMed, showing that frequent viral and bacterial infections drive heightened nasal innate immunity in children. This work was inspired by the puzzling observation that kids were less susceptible to #COVID_19 than adults... a thread (1/12) rupress.org/jem/article/221/…
