FDA approves TYK2 inhibitor deucravacitinib for moderate-severe plaque PSO based on POETYK studies ⚠️Cruicially they have avoided the dreaded JAKi black box warning for MACE and cancer, despite AE profile looking similar to JAKi Trials ongoing in PsA and SLE. Watch this space!

1/5 In my career at both @nature and @science I’ve created/directed approx 700 magazine covers - a joy each week. But now a first: someone methodically redesigning them! High school senior Woojoo Kim sent me these out of the blue. With permission, sharing her work in this thread.

I wrote (last week!) about the future of boosting - how many more shots will we need? will they all contain the same ingredients? ultimately, it depends on our immune systems, how the virus looks, and how much of the virus is around. 1/3 theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Super important study highlighting protection from #MISC in *fully vaccinated* children - still cases occurring in the weeks after first shot. Couldn’t calculate % protection from second shot because they didn’t see any MIS-C in the fully vaccinated!

Another fantastic article. @KatherineJWu should be required reading for undergraduate biology students! We'd have a lot more immunologists in the world and that would be a great thing. theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Pattern recognition receptors activate immune cells upon sensing microbes or tissue damage. @MRumpret @HelenRichthofen @VictorPeperzak & @LindeMeyaard @CTI_UMCUtrecht propose a group of inhibitory PRRs that help balance this response bit.ly/3oRLZHb #InnateImmunity

In their Perspective, Becher and colleagues propose an alternative framework in which to understand T helper diversity, based not on transcription factors and cytokines but rather physiological functionality. doi.org/10.1038/s41590-021-0… @burkhard_becher
