Tony Fauci is the most experienced and knowledgeable ID expert in the world. He is battling with an administration that puts wealth over health where apparently only those with wealth can afford good health.

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

BIG NEWS FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES. This has been a long story pioneered by Lucienne Chatenoud and published in Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1994 91, 123-127. Congratulations to all who have lived through the many trips and falls in clinical translation of this treatment.

BIG NEWS FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tzield (teplizumab) injection to delay (slow down) the loss of the body’s own insulin production for pediatric patients aged 8 to 17 years recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Type I diabetes (T1D).

Reversing drop in o/s students easier said than done. China invested billions in new Universities and wants their students to study in China rather than pay UK. This is a main reason for dramatic fall in o/s numbers.

In 40 minutes, Labour are releasing their full, uncensored Party Political Broadcast revealling the truth about Reform. It contains comments so bad they could not be shown in full on a televised broadcast. Hence, why this is the uncensored version. 10am it's released here:

MUST WATCH: Asked why Trump is trying so hard to block the Epstein files, Rep. Thomas Massie said the quiet part out loud. He said the files implicate billionaires, Trump friends, political donors, and that Epstein had ties to U.S. and Israeli intelligence. That’s the reason.

In 2023, I was told by a police officer in Kharkiv that if Ukraine loses the war, “all of Europe will burn.” We need to understand this. Parts of Europe understand it but too many people in the UK still think the war is “over there”. It’s not us and them. Ukraine is us.

Good to see our article proposing a new approach to the effective control of autoimmune diseases beyond Immune Reset. ‘Immune reset plus’: the case for combining immunotherapies to maintain self-tolerance in autoimmune diseases in Frontiers in Immunology: www.frontiersin.org/journals/imm...
Immune reset plus: this figure illustrates the advantage of combining Immune Reset by B cell depletion with antigen-specific immunotherapy. ASIT with antigens delivered to tolerogenic APC can ‘switch off’ autoreactive T cells while promoting differentiation of antigen-specific regulatory T cell populations. Most importantly, ASIT approaches have been shown to function in B cell depleted animal models. Tolerance induction by ASIT depends on antigen presentation by steady state dendritic cells in lymphoid organs or by APC in the tolerogenic environment of the liver. Immune reset plus ASIT will enable disease to be controlled without continued B cell depletion. This will allow the treated individual to control infections and respond to vaccines.

Microscopy image in the shape of a heart with purple around the edge and green towards the middle. You can see the formation of germinal centres around the edge (follicular dendritic cells in white, and proliferative B cells in blue), which play an important role in the adaptive immune response. The tissue was also stained for T cells (green), naïve B cells (magenta).
