🎉 CONGRATULATIONS TEAM 🎉 👏 Incredible effort by our brilliant team - special kudos to @sm_blum, @DZlotoff, #Neal, #Isabela, and #Swetha. 🔗 Go check out the fantastic tweetorial they have prepared to break down the key findings of our new study:

Imagine tiny engineers in your skin fine-tuning your nerves to detect allergens more easily. @theILCguy @sokol_mdphd @PeriMatatia @XuepingZhu @VHIT_Mckimmie @cam_phd @SwirskiLab @villanilab @MGH_RI @forum_gd @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…


In our new paper out today nature.com/articles/s4158…, we started with a simple hypothesis - inspired by work on IL-4/IL-13 from @itchdoctor - that an innate immune cell might control sensory neuronal detection of allergens via a secreted factor. (1/11)









This is a truly epic paper out today in @Nature that I was honoured to have played a tiny role. @theILCguy @sokol_mdphd and co define the neuroimmune axis that controls the itch response, including to mosquito saliva. See this superb thread below. 🤩 👇
