Indeed as if by magic this person/group/bot posted a heartwarming story about Ivy decontaminating mold spores. Trouble is beyond a 1993 abstract this was NEVER published in JACI, therefore heartwarming but probably wrong. DO NOT trust sources that can not be independently verified. Also…

Thank you so much for your hospitality @kaminskiMed. It was wonderful to interact with so many smart, talented and enthusiastic investigators and experience what an amazing environment you get to live and work in.

The most exciting papers of the year! Could these observers provide insights into the potential of immunotherapy in other conditions? 🤔

However, another study highlighting the disappearing treatment effect! Check the placebo vs Pirfenidone groups! 😳😳 we really need better drugs to #CureIPF

TETON-2 data looking good! 96ml of FVC ‘saved’ by inhaled treprostinil at 12 months. Devil will be in detail but all very promising.

This makes me sad (not altogether sure why), but I would like thank #DanielLevy for his hard work over last 25 yrs. The Stadium, European Glory Nights, Great teams, superstar players! 😍 There were some lows I’m sure but I don’t remember those. #COYS

Great to host Vidya Navaratnam MTWCentre. Her seminar places supportive care at centre stage! Raises really important questions about care at end of life & impact on survival and hospitalisations. Needs urgent further study! @kerrijohannson.bsky.social @kaminskimed.bsky.social

Found it strangely reassuring as I reflected on my recent exploration of Istanbul, London & Siena. The history & complexity of these wonderful places reassures me Europe will withstand current challenges & emerge stronger, more vibrant than ever. I hope random younger countries fare so well. 🙏🙏

I was asking myself why I and so many others found this so triggering! Then I realised it’s classic victim blaming, a common feature of misogyny and also used to suppress minorities with whom one might have beef.

Disappointing news from Pliant on Friday. No news of detail but likely that DSMB noted a safety signal based on v. brief press release & prior data inhibiting avb6 integrins. 😭 Market reaction brutal! 😳 @kerrijohannson.bsky.social @kaminskimed.bsky.social

Fab day at 13th Jules van den Bosch ILD symposium in Woerden (cute little 🇳🇱 town). Great talks from Sara Tomassetti 🇮🇹 describing distinctions in evolution from ILA-ILD (>20% radiological involvement), Coline van Moorsel 🇳🇱 on genetics in IPF (40% causal variants found in FPF in 🇳🇱)

Big day in Parliament today as MPs vote on the Assisted dying bill and people gather outside to support it. It’s a tough issue and I believe the vote will be close. However, if I had a vote I’d support it (with further modifications). My MP knows this.

Wowzer! $400/month out of pocket expenses for US patients requiring antifibrotics! The NHS may have some challenges but that’s a huge amount of money for patients with PF to find! #ILoveTheNHS #NHS

@kerrijohannson.bsky.social explains the key points in HP. More of it than we think, not easy to diagnose, not easy to treat, and high burden of symptoms and anxiety/depression.

I suddenly seem to have quite a few new followers on Blue Sky, which I’m guessing is a response Elon over on X being just generally not very nice or even handed? 🤷🏼‍♂️ S’pose I better start posting about science or cycling then. So here’s a pic of me in pain in the rain. 😅 The Giant TCR is amazing.

Tomorrow is the start of Pulmonary Fibrosis awareness month. To introduce it I went to @BBC in Manchester & was privileged to meet the inspirational Fiona who has PF. The work to #PreventPF & #CurePF continues. Thanks to @ActionPF for organising.

Dr Jody Rosenblatt describes the fundamentally important homeostatic mechanism of epithelial extrusion which is so poorly understood in the distal lung! Does it contribute to the development of #IPF? We hope to find out. www.imperial.ac.uk/mtw-centre-f...

imperial.ac.uk/mtw-centre-fib… The endothelium plays an important role in #IPF, & one consequence may be PHT. Dr Chris Rhodes describes the importance of multi ‘omic analysis in PHT. Will this help us #CureIPF? I suspect it will. 🙏

2nd www.imperial.ac.uk/mtw-centre-f... away day underway. #PostCovidILD starting the day. Dr Aran Singayagam started by exploring role of Neutrophil Netosis followed by Dr Ian Stewart describing burden and risk factors. What can we learn about fibrogenesis from COVID induced lung injury.
