Happy to share a preprint from the Angelo lab many years in the making. Read on for a saga of multiplexed imaging, immunometabolism, and TB granulomas with some fun side quests into the realms of geographical information sciences and transcriptomics… (1/20) doi.org/10.1101/2025...
The immunometabolic topography of tuberculosis granulomas governs cellular organization and bacterial control
Despite being heavily infiltrated by immune cells, tuberculosis (TB) granulomas often subvert the host response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and support bacterial persistence. We prev...

Improved Survival in Vascular Pythiosis with Surgery and Azithromycin, Doxycycline, and Itraconazole Therapy: A Phase II Multicenter, Open-Label, Single-Arm Trial
Vascular pythiosis, caused by Pythium insidiosum, is a life-threatening disease with high mortality rate in patients with residual disease post-surgery. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a combination therapy of surgery, azithromycin, doxycycline, and itraconazole.

Trying to function without data is like driving blindfolded.
A judge just ordered HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore deleted health info pages—because, shocker, doctors and researchers kinda need that info to do their jobs.

A federal judge ordered the nation’s premier health agencies to restore online access to several websites that monitor HIV, health risks for youths and assisted reproductive technologies, which were abruptly taken offline to ensure they complied with Trump’s recent executive order on gender.

I'm on service in the MICU this week, a place that is defined by a huge outlay of resources for what is often a small chance of saving one life. Just thinking about what's happened to USAID – arguably one of the best ROI you could ever hope to achieve in human health and flourishing? – is very hard.

No. RFK Jr has dedicated the past two decades of his life to making it more likely that children will die of preventable illnesses.
The only "good stuff" he believes is that Americans should eat better and exercise more, something every institution of public health already promotes constantly.

Harris had an opportunity to appeal to the RFK voters who just want healthy food and she blew it.
By blowing RFK off entirely, it invited people to assume that Harris opposed RFK's entire agenda, even the good stuff.
