I'm elated to share that my postdoc work is now online @Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… If you are interested in neuroimmunology (gd T cells, IL-3, sensory neurons) or allergy (allergic itch and initiation of the allergic immune response), this paper is for you! (1/16)

Science made fun! 😆 Follow this humorous and informative thread 🧵to know why we itch and the underlying mechanism. 🗞️PR: bit.ly/3yZcaE1

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)

A poorly understood, "weird" immune cell called GD3 produces a molecule, which acts on neurons, which trigger a reaction. Before we know it, we're itching for days. trib.al/cp0ALvT

Thank you! It was my pleasure to present this work a few months ago, and hope everyone will enjoy it.

There are several gamma/delta cell types in the skin – the usual suspects in rodents are the dermal g/d cells and DETCs*, but there is another very poorly understood epidermal g/d T cell subset that we simplistically referred to as GD3s (3rd skin g/d cell). (3/11)

Thank you Clive! It was very fun collaborating with you. We always get a lot of questions and interest about the mosquito saliva itch data. It's some of the coolest data to me personally, as I am a magnet to the mosquitos!

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. 🤩 👇

I can't thank @sokol_mdphd enough for her mentorship over the last 5 years. I will never forget her advocacy for this work in every way possible and at all hours of the day. She is one of a kind and one of the smartest people I've ever met. I can't recommend her lab more! (16/16)
