Worms shaped our immune system. Dr. Herbert is revealing what that means for asthma, allergies, and chronic inflammation. Hear his talk “Itchy Immunity via Myeloid IL-33” at #SIDSanDiego25 to explore how IL-33 drives type 2 immunity + tissue repair. sidannualmeeting.org #Immunology #SkinScience

11/11These findings, supported by @BWFPATH, are even more fascinating in the context of our work @theJIDJournal led by @JPineider @HunterJPyle., Melissa Mauskar showing site-, disease-, and sex-dependent differences in the secretion of androgens at the skin surface. Links below.

10/11 In an exciting final twist, we can leverage this conversation between host hormones and bacteria for #therapeutics to decrease S. aureus virulence, with an enantiomer of testosterone, inhibiting expression of PSMs, red blood cell hemolysis and neutrophil killing.

9/11…testosterone cannot activate strains that lack AgrCA. Together, our findings illuminate a molecular conversation between S. aureus and the host through the sensing of testosterone and DHT.

2/11 S. aureus is the most common cause of skin infections, yet it rarely colonizes healthy skin. During inflammation, like #atopicdermatitis and #eczema S. aureus begins to dominate. Infections are also more common in men. Our lab showed in 2021@PNASNews that…
