10 reasons why you should do a science outreach event(Post)
I'll start this post off with a story. When I was half way through my PhD and I had found my passion for science communication, I approached my supervisor for the first time to ask “Can I ha

Your Th2 Phenotype Might Not Be a T Cell(Post)If your knockout showed a type 2 phenotype and you attributed it to Th2 cells, there is a reasonable chance you were looking at something else. Innate lymphoid cells run T-bet, GATA3 and RORγt — not
CD4 T-Helper Differentiation: Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg and Tfh(Post)The antigen tells a CD4 T cell to respond; the cytokine tells it what kind of response to make. A naive CD4⁺ T cell leaving the thymus is uncommitted. Within about seventy-two hours of engaging TCR/C

Evita falsos positivos: isotipos y controles para investigadores(Post)Un isotipo es la clase de inmunoglobulina que define la región constante de su cadena pesada, y el organismo humano produce cinco: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD e IgE. Cada uno tiene una forma distinta, apar
One Ligand, Two Receptors, Opposite Jobs: TNFR1 vs TNFR2(Post)Blocking TNF cures rheumatoid arthritis in some patients and triggers demyelination in others. That is not a dosing problem, and it is not a patient-selection problem. It is the direct consequence of
Binding Is the Easy Part(Post)An antibody–drug conjugate is not a targeted drug. It is a delivery problem with an antibody bolted to the front of it. Binding is the easy part, and it is almost never the part that fails. What deci
