Visual cues of respiratory contagion: Their impact on neuroimmune activation and mucosal immune responses in humans This study investigated the neural correlates of perceiving visual contagion cues characteristic of respiratory infections through functional magnetic…

Seeing someone sneeze makes us ready to fight germs! New fMRI study by @uni-hamburg.de published in @brainbehavimm.bsky.social shows our brains activate & boost immunity (increased sIgA!) when seeing contagion cues. Preparing our defenses BEFORE getting sick!

The antibody repertoire of autoimmune sensory neuronopathies targets pathways of the innate and adaptive immune system. An autoantigenomic approach Sensory neuronopathies (SNN) encompass diverse etiologies, with autoimmunity playing a major role through both cellular and humoral responses. To inve…

Antibodies targeting the autoimmune system itself -- the "ouroboros"! Excited to contribute to this research with Stéphane Paul, Yannick Tholance, et al.

Preventing long-term disability in CIDP: the role of timely diagnosis and treatment monitoring in a multicenter CIDP cohort - Journal of Neurology Background Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an inflammatory disease affecting the peripheral nerves and the most frequent autoimmune polyneuropathy. Given the lack of establ...

As a non-MD, I was always wondering why clinicians sometimes start treating before understanding the cause. This new CIDP research sheds light on the "hit hard and early" strategy - delaying treatment can worsen long-term disability. Helpful insights from @hhu.de !
