𝘊. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴, a serious public health threat that may have emerged because of climate change, persists on human skin and inanimate objects, frequently causing difficult-to-control outbreaks in health care facilities. Full review with interactive map: nej.md/3CMj8gT
ALT Figure 1. Geographic Origins of Candida auris and Clinical Cases in the United States. Shown are the areas of the globe in which the five C. auris clades initially arose. The inset shows the number of C. auris clinical cases across the United States from 2013 through 2022 (data are from www.cdc.gov/fungal/candida-auris/tracking-c-auris.html). In South Africa and India, C. auris accounts for up to 25% and 40% of candidemia cases, respectively, in certain health care settings.

An honor to write a @J_Immunol Pillars piece for @slg1717 and H.Conti groundbreaking work @JExpMed on IL-17 promoting mucosal fungal defense. A rare example of basic research that faithfully translates to humans and will undoubtedly stand the test of time! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3937…

1/3 Excited to share our new paper led by Sebastian Ochoa & @ChasenLouie at @ScienceTM in which we found a deep intronic AIRE variant that causes inclusion of a frame-shifting pseudoexon that impairs AIRE function and explains APECED in ~15% of our cohort science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…

3/3 an antisense oligonucleotide could restore normal AIRE splicing in vitro, pointing to a potential treatment approach for these patients (currently being tested in a new KI mouse model with this variant). Thanks to all referring physicians and to collaborators @AfzaliBehdad
