All part of the IMPACC project. Some collaborators on map.

Screen shot of paper entitled "MICBG4064A polymorphism reduces risk of mechanical ventilation and death during viral acute lung injury." From JCI Insight publication.

More insights from #IMPACC studies, including polymorphism that might protect in #covid19 in online publication.

Thanks @jschaenmanmd.bsky.social for your comments and sorry if we didn't tag every author. There were too many! #covid19 #treatment #vulnerable

Great to see this work be published, it has been such a wonderful opportunity to be involved with the #IMPACC network - these important findings re immune response to #COVID will be useful for future pandemics especially for vulnerable populations @ast-idcop.bsky.social @niaidnews.bsky.social

Beyond flu, intranasal platforms are also being develop for a range of pathogens.

Understanding immune dynamics at the tissue site, and being able to directly measure them in humans, may dramatically improve development of vaccines that elicit robust protection against respiratory viruses.

Local B-cell immunity and durable memory following live-attenuated influenza intranasal vaccination of humans Seasonal influenza vaccines are most frequently delivered as intramuscular inactivated vaccines which elicit systemic responses against the immunodominant hemagglutinin (HA) head domain. An intranasal...

In our new study we show local B-cell immunity and durable memory following live-attenuated influenza intranasal vaccination of humans. We utilized minimally invasive swabbing of human upper airway, following seasonal intramuscular or nasal (FluMist) flu vaccinations

Immune ‘dysregulation’ present prior to infection predicts severe responses Stanford Medicine-led research finds that a gene signature capturing immune health or dysfunction can forecast patient outcomes following subsequent viral or bacterial infections.

Frustrated by noisy CITE-seq data?
ADTNorm helps normalize it and introduces a staining index to assess antibody quality.

Great work by former postdoc Ye Zheng. Supported by @hipcproject.bsky.social
