Excited to share our latest @Nature paper spearheaded by @YaelGruper identifying a new autoimmune disorder, characterized by impaired tooth development & generation of autoAbs against enamel matrix. It occurs in most AIRE def patients & ~1/3 of celiac kids nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

The recorded video of Dr. Jakub Abramson seminar entitled Breath of fresh AIRE - From broken central tolerance to broken teeth and anti-fungal immunity is now available at “Global Immunotalks” YouTube Channel youtu.be/uVxcC6q5ewo?si=vv0O…  Hope you enjoy it! #globalimmuno #immunology

Happy to see our story on tolerance to inflammation antigens @NatImmunol nature.com/articles/s41590-0… It grew from a naive question I had at my first immunology class: if some self molecules are only induced by pathogen how does immune system distinguish them from foreign antigens?1/n

In this study, interferon-γ was found to play a large role in the pathogenesis of APS-1. Results were confirmed in studies in animals and led to a trial of ruxolitinib in five patients, who had dramatic responses. Read the full study results: nej.md/4bXoKkG

The thymus can regenerate after acute injury due, in part, to the actions of local type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), suggests a new study in mice. @WeizmannScience 📄: scim.ag/5wr

Could the consumption of milk lead to dental problems in some children? New research led by Prof. Jakub Abramson and his team has uncovered a new autoimmune disorder that affects the development of tooth enamel and is prevalent among children with celiac disease. While many people with celiac disease are not aware of their sensitivity to a protein abundant in processed dairy products, the research findings suggest that this same protein may trigger an autoimmune reaction that hinders proper tooth enamel development. These discoveries could facilitate early diagnosis in children and enable preventative treatment in the future >> bit.ly/NewAutoimmune-wis @TheAbramsonLab

New paper out today in @jclinicalinvest! A new splice mutation of Aire that skips exon 7, shows a correlation between Aire function and degree of disease. Ex7splice retains some function, giving milder disease phenotype in compared to recessive variants jci.org/articles/view/169704…

In @JExpMed, @Brabec_Tomas_, @SchwarzerGnoto, @TheAbramsonLab, @FilippLab, @HonzaDobes87 et al. show that segmented filamentous bacteria induce the conversion of cognate CD4 T cells to cytotoxic intraepithelial lymphocytes. bit.ly/3tQJSbM @science_charles
