THREAD Let's collectively lose our minds to the most crazy patents of all time S'up Skywalkers, we are Altmetric and we track where research has been mentioned outside of scholarly lit. One of those places is patents! And some of them are legit nuts. We are fans of that. Here are the best. 1/9

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Refusing vaccines has become the paragon embodiment of antimodernism. That’s why the conservatives appreciate the potential there and use it even more to bring in more votes from that new „cult“. No surprise RFK is nominated secretary of health.

A new study this week showed how the most common blood test performed-—the CBC, complete blood count—contains a treasure chest of information that we are missing in reporting out to patients and doctors. erictopol.substack.com/p/your-lab-t...

Happy to announce the publication of our paper in Science Immunology. Here we describe the first patients with biallelic disease causing mutations in the LTBR gene encoding for the lymphotoxin beta receptor. 1/10 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

LTβR deficiency causes lymph node aplasia and impaired B cell differentiation

Loss-of-function mutations in LTBR result in a stromal defect, leading to dysfunctional secondary lymphoid organs and combined immunodeficiency in humans.

New in #ScienceImmunology: Research from @boztugk.bsky.social and team identifies an inborn error of #immunity caused by human LTβR deficiency, resulting in defective stromal cell signaling and impaired humoral immune responses. Read more: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So my first post for the project I have worked all through my time in Vienna. It has been an amazing journey to delve into the lymph nodes & NFKB. Bernhard Ransmayr has done a great job to shape the whole story and I have proudly witnessed his growing in the process!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Truly cannot think of a greater achievement, or a greater sorrow when that fell through decades later
