Very happy to share our endeavour into the molecular mechanisms underlying the susceptibility of diabetics to respiratory infection. In a nutshell we identified a critical immune-metabolic checkpoint in lung dendritic cells that is driving susceptibility to infection.
1/3 Proud to share our new @Elinav_Lab @Elinav_DKFZ @Sys_Immunology @WeizmannScience paper just published @Nature. Our highly talented postdocs @NobsSamuel & @OKolodziejczyk and senior scientist @Suhaib_K_Abdeen led a team of researchers and... nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

It is a great pleasure to announce that @NobsLab will move to the Institute for Research in Biomedicine @BellinzonaIrb, launching the new Microbiome Immune Interactions group. We will continue our quest to investigate how the microbiome impacts immunity in lung diseases.

It is a great pleasure to announce today the launch of the @NobsLab! Located at the University of Zurich, we will study microbiome-immune interactions and how they regulate diseases of the lung, in particular infection and chronic inflammation.

Microbes can promote anti-tumor immunity via iron sequestration by macrophages! Great new study by @Imsinhyuk and colleagues, with our two cents on harnessing the microbiome in immunotherapy. @EranElinav @Elinav_Lab nature.com/articles/s41590-0… nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

It was a great pleasure to discuss with @EranElinav the recent findings of Wan and colleagues in @CellCellPress about a critical role of complement in breast milk in infant susceptibility to enteric infection via the gut microbiota @Elinav_Lab nature.com/articles/s41422-0…

Better late than never.. Celebrating our recent paper @Nature (focusing on #diabetes complications), with some serious carbohydrates... Huge congrats @NobsSamuel @OKolodziejczyk @Suhaib_K_Abdeen, our team and collaborators for this phenomenal achievement! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Diabetics accounted for 35% of COVID-19-related deaths. @NobsSamuel @OKolodziejczyk @Suhaib_K_Abdeen from @Elinav_lab have found that high blood sugar levels disrupt the immune system’s response to lung infections. These findings mean that it might be possible to block diabetes-induced susceptibility to viral lung infections and their devastating consequences bit.ly/Diabetes-wis
