    Episode 53 - Something catastrophic

    In this episode, Matt and Kevin discuss a new paper from Matt’s old boss that shows that repeated “vaccination” against a completely harmless protein from chicken egg whites stimulates broad-based protection against a host of viral and bacterial pathogens, not to mention prevents mice from developing allergies. So should everyone rush to drip LPS and ovalbumin into their noses? Mmmm… not so fast. Plus, we kvetch about new NIH policies for the politburo-tization of grant review. A new era of American Lysenkoism is here! Links * The paper: Mucosal vaccination in mice provides protection from diverse respiratory threats * The new NIH policy on grant review - doesn’t sound so bad, but you need to read it in context.

    Episode 52 - Close to the squeezey part

    Oh hey, look, we’re on substack now! In this paper, Matt and Kevin discuss a new paper identifying and describing a new kind of macrophage (or is it a dendritic cell?) they call “adenophages”. The cells live in salivary and other exocrine glands, and are really good at phagocytosis and antigen presentation. But they also help squeeze out spit? Links * The Paper: Adenophages are an atypical macrophage population in exocrine glands sustained by ILC2-derived GM-CSF * Wikipedia article on salivary glands Get full access to Audiommunity Org at audiommunity.substack.com/subscribe
