I’m excited to share a perspective that an incredible group of experts in the B cell field worked on over the past 2 years. The thoughtful conversations resulted in what we hope will be a helpful framework moving forward. An open access link is available below:

How Trump Blew Up Northwestern’s Business Model The federal government froze the university’s research funding. It hasn’t offered the school a way to get it back.

Thank you for highlighting our manuscript. This is under review so not yet peer vetted but hope to get it out soon.

So the woman sitting next to me at a wedding tonight explained to me that NIH is only cutting poor quality science grants like the one trying to make mice transgender. We have lost the communication battle

The White House has criticized scientists in one of the latest executive orders. I wonder if the president believes that he should operate under these same standards?

How Trump’s attack on universities is putting research in peril Scientists have little information as the US government freezes and cancels their funding.

It's not just Columbia, it's not just DEI, and it's not just biomedical research: Trump's war on universities has frozen crucial science at institutions like Princeton, Cornell, Northwestern, and more. Our @nature.com team spoke to some of the affected scientists: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The contributions of mast cell subsets to allergic inflammation have been disputed.

Derakhshan et al. characterize mast cells from human nasal polyps and identify TGF-β signaling as having a role in directing a distinct protease phenotype: https://www.jci.org/articles/view/174981
