Congrats Erin Sanders & Sasha Smolgovsky on your #BCVS24 Travel awards and showcasing our #cardioimmunology research!! AHA Science Tufts School of Medicine Tufts University TuftsGSBS

A new NIH grant, led by Benjamin Singer, MD (Benjamin D. Singer), will fund studies that determine how #lung neutrophils drive tissue injury, #inflammation, and repair in patients with severe #pneumonia, lung #transplantation, and #asthma. spr.ly/6015caSLH

Celebrating the lab’s first trip around the sun 🎂. Grateful for the continued opportunity to grow as a scientist and mentor and to share this journey with exceptional, hardworking trainees.

A new editorial describes the science behind detecting and treating autoimmunity in kidney disease. Read the editorial “Kidney Disease and Antinephrin Antibodies” by Jochen Reiser, M.D., Ph.D., and Julie R. Ingelfinger, M.D., from UTMB Health: nej.md/4fnl1zD

Excited to share our latest study on cross-species scRNA-seq of atherosclerotic plaques: academic.oup.com/cardiovascres/… We reveal key differences in the atherosclerotic immune cell repertoire between humans and mice. #Atherosclerosis #scRNAseq #Immunology 1/n

5/ Key Finding 4: Human T-cells show higher degrees of dysfunctionality and exhaustion, likely due to chronic antigen exposure, a feature not fully recapitulated in murine models. Interestingly, only aged mice partially resembled the T-cell phenotype of humans.

Celebrating rising Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine M1 Juan McCook at today’s white coat ceremony! Juan began his journey with us in 2021 as an undergrad AHA Science-funded summer researcher, joined for a NIH NHLBI-funded gap year, and now begins his MD journey! We are all excited for you Juan!

Congratulations to NUCATS Institute and Public Health & Medicine (IPHAM) @NorthwesternU member Tamara Isakova, MD, MMSc, on being named Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine chief of the Division of Nephrology and Hypertension!

#OriginalResearch Ketone ester treatment in patients with HFpEF and T2DM shows beneficial hemodynamic effects @bborlaugmd Kristian Christensen Bertil Ladefoged @krisberghansen Nigopan Gopalasingam ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Great session on #cardioimmunology at the #ESCCongress2024, on innate and adaptive immunity aspects of cardiac and vascular pathology, as well as real-world impact in the clinic, with Slava Epelman Claudia Monaco Lab - Cardiovascular Inflammation Javid Moslehi, orchestrated expertly by Susanne Sattler and F Leuchner.

Check our paper in nature nature.com/articles/s4158… This is a huge collaborative work combining great basic and clinical science, with important implications for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Thanks to all our collaborators and funders!

Brilliant work from #JohnWilkins Don Lloyd-Jones & team out in JACC Journals! From #CARDIA, 1⃣-time LDLC and non-HDLC at age 18-30 highly predictive of cum exposure & ASVCD events. Major implications for #ImpSci strategies to ⏫LDL-C testing in early adulthood. Many 🙏🏾 for including me!

Bashore et al uncover novel insights using single-cell multi-omics, revealing surprising #monocyte heterogeneity & association with #CVD risk states. Learn more about new CVD biomarkers and therapies at ahajrnls.org/4gbVoCl Alex Bashore Hanrui Zhang
