Louisiana relies on @NIH $600M economic impact from $228M in grants @SenJohnKennedy please raise your voice, shutting down study sections and NIH councils means funding we have won, competed for, cannot be processed @Tulane @LSUHealthNO @XavierU @TulaneMedicine

2) the levels of IL-22Ra2 appear do not be impacted by CFTR correctors/modulators and this may explain some degree of microbial persistence. Truly a team effort with @TulaneMedicine @NJHealth @UPMC @dartmouth @NorthwesternU and @BIDharvardOHNS !

1) New work from @CMBojanowskiMD is in the @ATSBlueEditor demonstrating that the decoy receptor IL-22Ra2 which neutralizes IL-22 is upregulated in the lungs and sinus of people living with cystic fibrosis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39197091/

Gaffen Lab @SLG1717 led by Yang Li identifies the RNA-BP Arid5a as novel biomarker and driver of IL-17-dependent kidney #inflammation. Unexpectedly, IL-17 provokes Arid5a association with rRNAs and translational mRNAs, facilitating protein translation. hubs.la/Q02J3Y0K0

@MichaelSteele as a fellow Marylander I understand the backstroke reference to Trump’s reluctance to debate VP Harris. But I think the Louisiana term “crawfishing” is more apt.

@JuanCCeledonMD @nhlbi @DrMichelleManni @UPMCPhysicianEd @PittTweet @atscommunity @MedicinaPUJ @BrighamWomens @BrownMedicine Awesome!

@EllenFoxman @JExpMed @TimothyAWatkins @JulienAmat1 @wade_schulz @_The_SND Excellent work!! Does this explain the low prevalence of COVID-19 in cystic fibrosis??

Backstory on our recent paper @JExpMed, showing that frequent viral and bacterial infections drive heightened nasal innate immunity in children. This work was inspired by the puzzling observation that kids were less susceptible to #COVID_19 than adults... a thread (1/12) rupress.org/jem/article/22…

Congratulations to @DoraPungan for an outstanding talk on advances towards better diagnostics for PJP. #PCP #aidsmycoses2024
