New publication in Immunity! Researchers from the Gene Lay Institute, led by Dr. Caroline Sokol and Dr. Xueping Zhu, identified mTORC1 as a molecular switch that helps sensory neurons “remember” allergen exposure—driving heightened itch and allergic responses upon re-exposure.

Macrophages near brain blood vessels regulate blood flow & waste clearance to protect against Alzheimer’s. @TheColonnaLab reports cMAF enables this key signaling. Congrats to Dr. Colonna, GLI's newest core faculty member, on this research! @WashUMedicine @MGBResearchNews

New research from @JoonHyukLee3 & @QuintanaLabHMS shows that astrocytes level-up as non-professional antigen-presenters after interactions with T cells to boost T cell pathogenicity in 🧠CNS autoimmunity. @MGBResearch @HarvardMedical @BroadInstitute nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
