hello i published this paper today proud of this one - it truly turned out cooler than even the most optimistic version of myself thought it would when the project started also i'm defending in 2 days so if you don't feel like reading just come hear me tell you about it! 🙂

New paper out of the lab today from @karenwong1013 - we show that a subset of growth factor-responsive gene activation requires the nuclear kinase MSK2, which phosphorylates H3K9me2S10 at enhancers of these responsive genes prior to their transcription. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Growth factor–induced activation of MSK2 leads to phosphorylation of H3K9me2S10 and corresponding...

MSK2 kinase is activated by growth factor signaling to phosphorylate histones at enhancers of growth factor–responsive genes.

New work from us. Identification of functional resident memory CD8+ T cells against SARS-CoV-2 in tonsils collected prior to the pandemic. The same type of responses are not found in blood. Location matters! science.org/doi/10.1126/scii…

Great article in the NYT from Gina Kolata. Nice analysis of what we know about immune heterogeneity and how it might relate to treatments How the Coronavirus Short-Circuits the Immune System - The New York Times nytimes.com/2020/06/26/healt…

How the Coronavirus Short-Circuits the Immune System (Published 2020)

In a disturbing parallel to H.I.V., the coronavirus can cause a depletion of important immune cells, recent studies found.
