In my first bsky post, I am excited to share our recent review out in @natrevimmunol.bsky.social. We discuss mechanisms that identify patterns of pathogenesis -- specific ligands or symptoms in the host that indicate active infection with an infectious microorganism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Patterns of pathogenesis in innate immunity: insights from C. elegans - Nature Reviews Immunology
In this Review, Tse-Kang, Wani and Pukkila-Worley discuss how nematodes, such as Caenorhabditis elegans, rely on ‘patterns of pathogenesis’ as opposed to the sensing of specific ligands by pattern-rec...

The plan for NIH is in, source with full 64 page proposal for all of HHS is linked. Reported in WaPo. This is catastrophic. Reduction to 8 centers. 40% cut in budget. 15% IDC cap. This will decimate science across America open.substack.com/pub/insideme...
