Inflammatory arthritis immune related adverse events represent a unique autoimmune disease entity primarily driven by T cells, but likely not autoantibodies
Although the current paradigm posits that autoreactive T and B cells both contribute to inflammatory arthritis (IA), the existence of antibody-independent arthritis remains contentious. The immunologi...

Online scamming is a vast, sophisticated and fast-growing global enterprise that compares in size and scope to the illegal drug industry. Except that in many ways it is worse. As our investigation finds, nobody is safe from Scam Inc econ.st/4gvEhdm

We are thrilled to share our new manuscript @science.org , in which we uncovers a critical role for macrophage peroxisomes in lung repair after viral infection. Could targeting peroxisomes be the key to mitigating long COVID?! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Macrophage peroxisomes guide alveolar regeneration and limit SARS-CoV-2 tissue sequelae
Peroxisomes are vital but often overlooked metabolic organelles. We found that excessive interferon signaling remodeled macrophage peroxisomes. This loss of peroxisomes impaired inflammation resolutio...

Chronological versus immunological aging: Immune rejuvenation to arrest cognitive decline
Basurco and Abellanas et al. discuss how immune system aging negatively impacts the brain and propose immune rejuvenation as a strategy to combat cognitive decline and sustain lifelong brain health.

Eating at least five tiny servings of dark chocolate each week may lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 21%, according to a new observational study. In fact, as dark chocolate consumption increased from none to five servings, so did the benefits, the study found.
Dark chocolate linked to lower risk of type 2 diabetes, study says | CNN
A small quantity of dark chocolate was better than milk chocolate for insulin control and type 2 diabetes prevention, according to a new study.

I finished Han Kang’s The Vegetarian today. I don’t know South Korea is among the countries with the fewest vegetarians by proportion. But all East Asian countries are lonely society. They share similar attitudes towards anyone who behaves outside the social norms, but particularly women.
