Back at home after two days of great science in the 18 Mini Herpesvirus Workshop and 1st and only HHV-65 Symposium, celebrating Harmut Hengel’s birthday. @lucasmendesm.bsky.social and @ninaplueckebaum.bsky.social presented exciting results showing how herpesviruses modulate the immune response

It was fun to write this Opinion piece together with @lucasmendesm.bsky.social where we suggest strategies to modify interferon gamma to improve its potential applications in the clinic. Just published at @cp-trendsimmuno.bsky.social !
Using structure-function information from IFN-γ-binding proteins and biased agonists to uncouple immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive activities #immunology
Using structure-function information from IFN-γ-binding proteins and biased agonists to uncouple immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive activities
IFN-γ is a pleiotropic antiviral cytokine that coordinates innate and adaptive immune responses and induces both immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive activities, limiting its use in the clinic. Due to its antiviral role, several viruses express…

Excited to share an Opinion piece that I wrote with my supervisor, @viejoborbolla.bsky.social, now published in Trends in Immunology!
We discuss how viral IFNγ-binding proteins might provide mechanistic insights into uncoupling IFNγ-mediated gene expression.

Wrap-up of Innate Immunity I: The session was closed by Luca Mendes-Monteiro from @viejoborbolla.bsky.social lab who showed how varicella zoster virus glycoprotein C modulates IFNγ signaling and favors virus spread. #GfV2025 (HMB)
