Resolution of epithelial dysfunction in eosinophilic esophagitis is mediated by an HIF-1α-CD73-adenosine signaling axis
Inflammatory hypoxia is induced by eosinophilic inflammation, while a decreased expression in the key hypoxic regulator, hypoxia-inducible transcripti…

A study in Nature Medicine exposed LLMs to simulated clinical cases with switched sociodemographic features exploring ethnic, social, sexual orientation and gender dimensions and showed differences in recommendations for patient treatment, referral and follow-up based only on these features. 🔒

Sociodemographic biases in medical decision making by large language models - Nature Medicine
A panel of nine LLMs was exposed to simulated clinical cases with switched sociodemographic features exploring ethnic, social, sexual orientation and gender dimensions and showed differences in recommendations for patient treatment, referral and follow-up based only on these features.

After we reach advanced age, around 80, the propensity to develop cancer is markedly reduced. A discovery reported at Nature today about aged stem cells and iron insufficiency may help explain this advantage www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

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/...

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.
