Ecstatic to share out latest research looking at the role of mitochondrial ABHD11 in controlling T-cell responses. We think this may be a viable target for autoimmunity. Please do give it a read, we would love to hear your thoughts.

Mitochondrial ABHD11 inhibition drives sterol metabolism to modulate T-cell effector function - Nature Communications
α/β-hydrolase domain-containing protein 11 (ABHD11) is a mitochondrial hydrolase, and its expression in CD4 + T-cells has been linked to remission status in rheumatoid arthritis. Here the authors repo...

Thanks to global immunisation efforts, an estimated 154 million lives have been saved over the past 50 years 🌎 🤝
That’s equivalent to 6 lives every minute.

Obesity is associated with increased susceptibility to infection, which may be due to obesity-induced immune dysregulation. The latest article exchange highlight from @discovimmunol.bsky.social looks at dendritic cell responses to Sendai Virus in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity.
