Honored to share our work @SocInvestDerm 2026, on the skin, and how the immune system, the endocrine system, and the skin microbes interface. Our latest is now in press published with @natureportfolio.nature.com Nature Microbiology! #research. rdcu.be/e50PE

@andrewlji Thanks Andrew!

@HarrisTryonLab Congrats!!

Exciting to have our findings out after peer review!!! The skin generates sex steroids in nanomolar to micromolar amounts, depending on the sex steroid and the skin site. Specifically skin androgens regulate S. aureus quorum sensing.

@itchdoctor @SpringerNature @NatureMicrobiol Thank you @itchdoctor!

@HarrisTryonLab @SpringerNature @NatureMicrobiol Congratulations!!!

Read my latest #research on #staph interactions with skin #androgens, published with @SpringerNature in @NatureMicrobiol rdcu.be/e50PE

Really beautiful work from the Harris-Tryon lab. A must read!! Congrats!

@Soumees @UTSWDerm Thanks @Soumees! Ill be at UCSF- Dermatology 4/29 presenting this work and other findings from our group!

@HarrisTryonLab @UTSWDerm Very cool study!! Congratulations!!!

This was such a cool study to be a part of! Congrats to the Harris-Tryon group @HarrisTryonLab

Great summary of what is known about S. aureus/skin dynamics. We are exciting to be expanding the picture with our findings demonstrating how the skin secretes hormones and how testosterone stimulates QS in S. aureus. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40515749/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to all on a labor of love. I recall "pd-1 is boring" as a grant review comment. Not so boring in fact... nature.com/articles/s4159…

@kvnforsberg @cellhostmicrobe @luis840alberto Congratulations!!

Very proud to have our lab's first work published in @cellhostmicrobe! In this work, we use functional metagenomics to find phage defenses from human and soil microbiomes! Congrats to first author @luis840alberto ! cell.com/cell-host-micr… (1/3)
