Join us in Lausanne Switzerland October 1-2 for an exciting symposium on innate immunity with oustanding invited speakers, short talks selected from submitted abstracts and poster sessions.

Attendance is limited to 150 participants!

Donc Pierre-Edouard Fournier, qui a 12 articles rétractés, est en charge de faire respecter la loi et l'éthique au sein de l'IHU ainsi que de faire rétracter les articles qui doivent l'être.
Bref, le changement n'est toujours pas pour maintenant.

Congrats Neil and team!

It is my favourite paper of 2025 so far, absolutely amazing work. Congrats!

I spotted these depressing journals a few months ago and tweeted about it then.

Why do we need to have a race to the bottom in everything these days?

Friends in Sweden and Italy: you have a bit more than a day left to put your contry over the threshold. Germany overtook you in the mad last sprint but you can still make it. Sweden is only missing 307 signatures, Italy a little over 5000.

I strongly believe companies selling antibodies should be held accountable for their product not working according to specifications. In which other field does companies get away with that?

E-learning / Mooc 1.png    What is a MOOC?     A MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course.  It is a free online course accessible to a large number of learners.

The Institut Pasteur holds a number of free online courses www.pasteur.fr/en/e-learnin... Not sure if there is one currently running that would be useful for you though

Our goal is to publish this in Bioengineered to inform their readers. However, we are not willing to pay the APC of over $3000 and asked for a waiver.

Lower survival rate among trainees in labs with highly productive mentors raises important concerns about what we value in academia. Many interesting things to stew over with this paper!

Ending virology and vaccine research is far more dangerous than virology and vaccine research itself.

We can mitigate risks in the lab, but we can’t mitigate the catastrophic risk of being unprepared and defenseless against emerging viruses.

Glycocalyx dysregulation impairs blood–brain barrier in ageing and disease - Nature Disruption of mucin-domain glycoprotein expression and function in the endothelial glycocalyx are associated with ageing and Alzheimer’s disease, leading to dysregulated blood–brain barrier function.

Happy to share this new #glycotime work with collaborator Tony Wyss-Coray, led by grad student Sophia Shi, mucin loss at the BBB is associated with aging and cognitive decline, can be reversed by restoration with with gene therapy. Aging is a mucinopathy!
