In light of the public statement made by U.S. President Donald Trump on social media on the afternoon of Wednesday (9), it is important to highlight the following: Brazil is a sovereign nation with independent institutions and will not accept any form of tutelage. The judicial proceedings against those responsible for planning the coup d'état fall exclusively under the jurisdiction of Brazil´s Judicial Branch and, as such, are not subject to any interference or threats that could compromise the independence of national institutions. In the context of digital platforms, Brazilian society rejects hateful content, racism, child pornography, scams, fraud, and speeches against human rights and democratic freedom. In Brazil, freedom of expression must not be confused with aggression or violent practices. All companies—whether domestic or foreign—must comply with Brazilian law in order to operate within our territory. The claim regarding a U.S. trade deficit in its commercial relationship with Brazil is inaccurate. Statistics from the U.S. government itself show a surplus of $410 billion in the trade of goods and services with Brazil over the past 15 years. Therefore, any unilateral tariff increases will be addressed in accordance with Brazil's Economic Reciprocity Law. Sovereignty, respect and the unwavering defense of the interests of the Brazilian people are the values that guide our relationship with the world.

If Rebequinha beat Biles in gymnastics, why can’t we beat the US dream team? 😂 Lets go 🇧🇷🏀!!! #rebecaandrade ❤️

Opening of the World Congress of Inflammation in Quebec City with a nice talk about Immunity against pathogens by Maziar Divangahi. Pathogens always in the hotspot of Inflammation and Immunity.

A vaccine that is effective in the elderly. Pleased to share our study on the use of hyperactivator adjuvants to stimulate anti-tumor immunity in the young and old. All other vaccine adjuvants, and even checkpoint inhibitors, failed to do so. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

⁦@Nature⁩ today is on 🔥 re #EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Radulovic &co show that learning leads transient DNA damage in hippocampal neurons that is sensed by #TLR9 that in turn drives repair & allows #memory formation preventing neurocognitive defects! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Any students interested in proteomics and developing new chemical approaches to target #inflammasomes please check out this PhD opportunity with @BenCollinsLab and I. The new chemoproteomics centre at QUB is an exciting collaboration with Almac Discovery. More info in Ben's post

Do not forget to sign up for our next InflammaZoom meeting and hear from @broz_lab and @anandparas! 26th of February, 2pm (GMT) @abcam

Lupus as a disease of innate immune dysfunction. Toll like receptor signaling changes, linked to defective endosomal trafficking, are revealed as drivers of lupus symptoms. Kudos to Majer and colleagues on this important discovery. @MajerOlivia #lupus science.org/doi/10.1126/scii…

Congratulations, @tamrodrigues1! You absolutely deserve this award! Such an outstanding PhD student!!!!

Great talk by @WuLabHarvard to close my last meeting this year. Beautiful inflammasome biology over the last two days at this fantastic @InflammaZoom @abcam meeting on Innate Sensing and Signaling in Immunology at the @kochinstitute in Boston! Lots of fun!

@inflammasomelab giving an impressive talk on pyroptosis roles in macrophages. Gorgeous microscopy!

Excited to be in beautiful Boston for the @InflammaZoom @abcam innate sensing and signalling in immunology meeting @kochinstitute -looking forward to some amazing science I've the next two days!

Posso postar a foto da galera do lab na confraternização de final do ano sem dizer que é o “churrasco da firma”? 😂 Orgulho desse Lab!!! #ZamboniLab
