PrIISM at Icahn Mount Sinai | powering immunology research from human profiling through mechanistic studies in preclinical models, towards the development & testing of new immunotherapies
Clean water and sewage systems are heroes in the fight against infection—working hand-in-hand with your immune system to keep 🦠 at bay. Tomorrow, we're paying another visit to NYC's swankiest toilet in Bryant Park to celebrate the infrastructure that keeps us all alive & the only throne we support 😎

And not just in humans! Jakinibs used in dogs used to control itching and inflammation associated with allergic and atopic dermatitis @itchdoctor.bsky.social !

Will be searching Pubmed for immunology papers by 'Ambling Brook' @rupress.org 😁

PD1 blockade triggers differentiation of CD8 stem-like T cells into effectors and replenishes their numbers but this happens away from infection sites. These cells get TCR signals but do not express Granzyme B and effector molecules - proposes that myeloid cells likely maintain this active niche.
