1. I’m happy to share my first publication from @casanovalab.bsky.social, now out at @ BioProtocol. We provide a cost-effective and scalable assay to study ligand-receptor interactions using virus-like particles (VLPs) and flow cytometry. bio-protocol.org/en/bpdetail?...

Somatic deficiency of the human E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL in leukocytes impairs B cell but not T cell development and function - Nature Immunology
Bohlen and colleagues report that the E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL is necessary for the development, tolerance and activation of B cells in humans, unlike in mice where CBL deficiency results in loss of T ...

1/ We are excited to report in @sciimmunology.bsky.social that human complete and selective LFA-1 deficiency causes isolated Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis (EV). This surprising phenotype revealed a surprising mechanism 🙂 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

1/ One of the most intriguing enigmas of the #COVID19 pandemic was the sudden and unprecedented outbreak of chilblains that accompanied the early waves of #SARSCoV2 infections. Our new study in @jem.org uncovers the underlying immunological mechanism rupress.org/jem/article/...

What Happens When Some Cells Are More Dad Than Mom (and Vice Versa)?
A new study shows that some of our cells favor genes of one parent or the other and can explain a longstanding mystery of why some people with disease-causing genes experience no symptoms.
