We previously showed that APS-1/APECED features excess IFNg responses that can be targeted therapeutically (Oikonomou NEJM 2024). We now extend this to show that early JAK inhibition can intercept the development of irreversible autoimmune endocrinopathies

Great work, Kathleen! Many congratulations!
A million thanks to @tmhohl71, the whole Hohl lab 🍄, @LionakisLab, Amariliz Rivera's group @RutgersU, @WCM_IMP, and the folks @SciImmunology. If you'd like to read the paper 📰 and don't have access for any reason, I'm happy to send a copy, just let me know. End thread ☺️

𝘊. 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴, a serious public health threat that may have emerged because of climate change, persists on human skin and inanimate objects, frequently causing difficult-to-control outbreaks in health care facilities. Full review with interactive map: nej.md/3CMj8gT
ALT Figure 1. Geographic Origins of Candida auris and Clinical Cases in the United States. Shown are the areas of the globe in which the five C. auris clades initially arose. The inset shows the number of C. auris clinical cases across the United States from 2013 through 2022 (data are from www.cdc.gov/fungal/candida-auris/tracking-c-auris.html). In South Africa and India, C. auris accounts for up to 25% and 40% of candidemia cases, respectively, in certain health care settings.

Our recent study out today in @PLOSPathogens identified cell type specific immune responses to Candida auris skin infection using single cell transcriptomics. Thank you @LionakisLab, Mihai Netea and Vinod for collaborating in this study !

An honor to write a @J_Immunol Pillars piece for @slg1717 and H.Conti groundbreaking work @JExpMed on IL-17 promoting mucosal fungal defense. A rare example of basic research that faithfully translates to humans and will undoubtedly stand the test of time! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3937…

1/3 Excited to share our new paper led by Sebastian Ochoa & @ChasenLouie at @ScienceTM in which we found a deep intronic AIRE variant that causes inclusion of a frame-shifting pseudoexon that impairs AIRE function and explains APECED in ~15% of our cohort science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…
