Congratulations @joaquinpellegrini.bsky.social and all the authors involved! @ciml.bsky.social
The group of Jean-Pierre Gorvel @ciml.bsky.social identify in @jclinical-invest.bsky.social novel roles of SLAMF7 and SLAMF8 in finely tuning human plasmacytoid DC responses to intracellular bacterial infections.

In a study led by Jean-Pierre Gorvel and Sylvie Mémet, CIML researchers found that SLAMF receptors shape human plasmacytoid dendritic cell responses to intracellular bacteria. Congrats to 1st author Joaquin Pellegrini and collaborators.

Proud to share our work! 🧫😍
A special one!

Using Salmonella and Brucella, this study provides the first demonstration of an antibacterial response in pDCs orchestrated by SLAMF7 and SLAMF8, driving cytokine responses and favoring bacterial survival via mtROS control.

Pertussis is awful even if you’re not at high risk, but it literally kills and disables babies. The vaccines are not perfect, but keeping up to date and getting boosted in pregnancy is critical.
Your vaccination also protects the lives of babies under 1 who cannot be fully immunized. 10% of adults in NZ’s outbreak vs 2/3 of babies have had to be hospitalized.

Pertussis can make small children stop breathing and even a “mild” case in an adult can mean months of coughing so severe ribs break
