Clonal driver neoantigen loss under EGFR TKI and immune selection pressures - Nature We show the evolution of a case of EGFR mutant lung cancer treated with a combination of erlotinib, osimertinib, radiotherapy and a personalized neopeptide vaccine targeting somatic mutations, including EGFR exon 19 deletion.

How to do differential expression with scRNAseq data? State of the art is "pseudo-bulk" analysis with RNA-seq methods like edgeR or DESeq2, where "cell type" is encoded as discrete categories. Biologically, discrete categories are not always the most appropriate concept.(1/3)

Interesting work, it's becoming clear that @santiagozelenay.bsky.social's 2015 work on the COX-PGE axis' role in tumor immune evasion is robust (and also that we really need to focus on type I IFN in anti-tumor immunity).

Crystal structure of the human LAG-3–HLA-DR1–peptide complex The structural basis of how the immune checkpoint molecule LAG-3 binds peptide HLA-II is resolved.

This week in #Science #Immunology: Jan Petersen, Jamie Rossjohn, & colleagues have solved the #CrystalStructure of human #LAG3 – #HLADR1 – #peptide complex, a major target of #ImmuneCheckpoint #therapy!

What a sensational line up!

Wonderful work @barralab.bsky.social on the role of NKT cells in gut epithelial cell homeostasis. Huge congrats to Patricia, the team and @martalebrusant.bsky.social a rising unconventional T cell superstar that we are lucky to have slaying it in our lab!

IFN-γ-dependent regulation of intestinal epithelial homeostasis by NKT cells The crosstalk between immune and epithelial cells is vital to maintain intestinal homeostasis. Lebrusant-Fernandez et al. identify NKT cells in the small intestine as key regulators of epithelial biol...

Our first 🦋 post! Very happy to share our latest paper just out in Cell Reports, exploring the crosstalk between immune and epithelial cells in the gut. Check it out!

Totally agree. The immune system is an excellent biosensor and recorder of past experiences. UPenn Immune Health www.med.upenn.edu/immunehealth/ together with our Colton Autoimmunity Consortium www.coltonconsortium.org is profiling Immune Health of 1000's of subjects. Many ways to work towards a GIO
