The week beginning Aug 4 was the most dangerous, tragic week of RFK Jr’s tenure yet.

A Lancet Editorial outlines why—unpacking a movement that seeks to discredit mainstream medicine and portray institutions and experts as enemies, not partners. tinyurl.com/4zppw6ay

Cover of The Lancet's August 23, 2025 issue. Quote on cover reads: "Either through incompetence or disinformation, the actions of this movement pose the greatest threat to the health of Americans and millions of people globally."

Very proud of this new paper describing a novel human immune defect caused by ASXL1 deficiency.
We really had to open the genomics tool box to solve this one, including neat tricks like calculating the epigenetic age.
All led by Dr. Catherine Biggs!

Fu et al. identify biallelic germline ASXL1 variants as the cause of a novel #InbornErrorOfImmunity, linking ASXL1 deficiency to epigenetic dysregulation, combined immune deficiency, chronic viral infections, & malignancy

Viewpoint: To effectively reduce drug costs, the US needs its own price negotiation framework rather than relying on international benchmarks, as proposed by the Trump administration.
