Excellent new study by @casanova_lab, @anne_puel and MANY friends/colleagues. Patients with #immunodeficiency caused by alt NF-kB deficiency develop anti-IFN autoAbs
1/ We are excited to report in @Nature the discovery that human inborn errors of the alternative NF-κB pathway-dependent immunity underlie the development of auto-Abs neutralizing type I IFNs (rdcu.be/dqBBU).

Appalling videos from Makhachkala, Russia, where an angry mob broke into the airport searching for Israeli citizens on the flight from Tel-Aviv. This is not an isolated incident in Makhachkala, but rather part of Russia’s widespread culture of hatred toward other nations, which is propagated by state television, pundits, and authorities. The Russian foreign minister has made a series of antisemitic remarks in the last year. The Russian President also used antisemitic slurs. For Russian propaganda talking heads on official television, hate rhetoric is routine. Even the most recent Middle East escalation prompted antisemitic statements from Russian ideologists. Russian antisemitism and hatred toward other nations are systemic and deeply rooted. Hatred is what drives aggression and terror. We must all work together to oppose hatred.

Cornell is aware of the rape and death threats Jewish students have received, and the police are investigating them. These universities (Cornell, Columbia, Harvard…) are solely responsible for allowing a climate in which Jewish students are afraid for their lives. Fix it.

Hamas terrorist interrogation reveled that the terror group's headquarter is indeed based under Al Shifa hospital because they know Israel "won't strike" a hospital.

Not mincing words anymore… This isn’t about freedom or peace— for the Free Palestine crowd it is about the complete destruction of the only Jewish state, and formation of another Arab state in its place.

If President Biden @POTUS can say it so clearly, why can't the Presidents of @Columbia, @nyuniversity, @UCBerkeley, @Harvard, @CUNY, @GWtweets, and many other "esteemed" colleges? Because they are COWARDS. Because they LACK MORAL COURAGE Because they are UNFIT TO BE LEADERS.

According to @NIH, #PrimaryImmunodeficiency may affect 1-2% of the population, and 70-90% of these cases remain #undiagnosed 👀 Retweet this post to help us shine a light on PI. #Awareness leads to #diagnosis, which leads to a better quality of life for people living with PI 💖
