It was a wonderful day that included a tour of The BioInnovation Institute, lunch at @novo-nordisk.bsky.social, and an evening award celebration and dinner.
- Reposted by Ahmad YatimEnhanced TLR7-dependent production of type I interferon by pDCs underlies pandemic chilblains, say Fanny Saidoune, Michel Gilliet, Ahmad Yatim (@ahmad-yatim.bsky.social) @casanovalab.bsky.social and colleagues: rupress.org/jem/article/... #SARSCoV2 #COVID19

Saidoube @casanovalab.bsky.social Gillet @ahmad-yatim.bsky.social &co show @jem.org that excessive TLR7 activation in pDCs drives type I #Interferons protecting against SARS-CoV-2 but at the same time causing chilblains! rupress.org/jem/article/...
- 1/ One of the most intriguing enigmas of the #COVID19 pandemic was the sudden and unprecedented outbreak of chilblains that accompanied the early waves of #SARSCoV2 infections. Our new study in @jem.org uncovers the underlying immunological mechanism rupress.org/jem/article/...
- 2/ Chilblains are inflammatory papules that appear on acral sites. First described in 1888, they have remained a medical mystery for more than a century
- 3/ Chilblains can occur secondary to chronic type I interferon (I-IFN)-driven conditions such as monogenic interferonopathies and #lupus, or primary, when striking otherwise healthy individuals
