How does the immune system work? Will there be #COVID19 vaccines? @BioRender & I put together ‘immunology 101 tweetorial for non-immunologists’. @jerryguartist, @shizaoki, @JungHeeSciViz also made this accompanying video. Please

1/ Another oddity in the vaccine adverse events reports: one Moderna trial death was a suicide in the vaccine arm. It was judged unrelated; someone approached me and told me

1. The early use of inhaled interferons is emerging as a promising strategy to prevent severe #COVID19: lines of support include mechanism, rare genomic variants, a multicenter retrospective report, and

COVID question I've been getting: Why do I need a vaccine when there's a 99.7% survival rate? It's a fair point (and makes for a lively discussion!). Here is my

We show that neutralizing autoantibodies to type I IFNs underlie a third of the life-threatening adverse reactions to yellow fever virus live-attenuated virus (YFV 17D): https://rupress.org/jem/article/218/4/e20202486/211761/Auto-antibodies

Los interferones (respuesta inmune innata) parecen ser la cara y cruz de la pandemia. Me explico. Su funcionamiento incorrecto (incluso vía genética) facilita la multiplicación-expansión del virus. Pero su administración
