JCI - Complement-producing maternal microchimeric cells override infection susceptibility in complement-deficient murine offspring jci.org/articles/view/187001 another example for what microchimeric cells can do, in this case offset disease severity associated with missing proteins

BOOK NEWS! I'm delighted to announce that Booster Shots is available for preorder and to share the cover with you! Measles, the world’s most infectious virus, evolves with us – aided by poverty, war, and neglect. Its recent resurgence spotlights our ongoing failure to protect kids from preventable harm and suggests how we can make things better in the future. I’m excited for you to read it! Preorder link in bio. @avery_books @penguinrandom @PRHAudio penguinrandomhouse.com/books…

We show that cytokine-stimulated organoids from a patient before treatment predicts whether that individual responds to a Jak inhibitor. Check out paper for details including mechanism⚙️🔧. Big 🙏to industry partners and coauthors @DavidHudesmanMD @LokePng DrewJones!
Congratulations Kyung Ku Jang 👨‍🔬and @DrJordanAxelrad 🩺for leading this study published in Gastro showing how culturing patient specimens can be used to predict 💊efficacy for ulcerative colitis🎉 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Congratulations @joeyzacks @JoshuaSotoOc @EliotFriedman and to all the authors!
Excited to share our latest work led by @JoshuaSotoOc & @elliotsfriedman in @mbiojournal today! Together with Gary Wu's team, we suggest metals may be an important nutritional factor shaping early life microbial ecology. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
