I've had Sakaguchi papers on my desk since '99, when I was warned against studying cells (Treg) that may not exist. 26 years on, we've shown you need them to reproduce and we may bring them to Heart clinics. A joyous overdue toast to Sakaguchi's steadfast building of the foundations of our science!

A small primer on the #NobelPrize awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi today. This prize was for combining two separate fields of immunology research - genetic research on IPEX and immunology research of regulatory T cells (#Tregs), with enormous impact on biology/medicine

A long-awaited consensus statement on inflammation and heart disease
"We have thus entered an era when the evidence linking inflammation with ASCVD is no longer exploratory but is
compelling and clinically actionable."

'(...) deciphering the interactions between ab-mediated immunity & viral evolution will be key. In this perspective, we explore these dynamic relationships & highlight research priorities that may guide the dev. of more effective strategies to mitigate the impact of emerging infectious diseases.'
Immunological drivers of zoonotic virus emergence, evolution, and endemicity
In this perspective, Andersen and colleagues examine how host immunity shapes the emergence, evolution, and persistence of novel and emerging viruses. They highlight the role of antibody-driven select...

We don't make the journal cover often (indeed this is only the second time ever). We don't even publish that often. But this paper took very many years of work, from very many people, and I am wholeheartedly grateful to each and every one of them.
