More people are turning to cannabidiol (CBD) cannabis strains to help with the side-effects of pregnancy.
A new study from @McMasterU has uncovered the potential risks, which includes impaired fetal growth. @MGD_CMCR @CIHR_IRSC @InnovationCA

Join us next Thursday for visiting speaker Dr. Ali Ashkar from @McMasterU. Interferon Types and Time Matter is the discussion topic.

While CD56 expression could be used to indicate a hyper-functional state of NK cells, it does not directly influence the anti-tumor functions of expanded NK cells @jlb_journal Congrats, @Ana_LPortillo! @Ashkar_Lab

Why does covalency matter? Here we develop a new covalent #inducedproximity system that activates T cell tumoricidal function through stabilized ternary complexes. Covalency is observed to uniquely enforce immune receptor activation signaling events! doi.org/10.1016/j.omton.2024…

Check out the latest issue of Immunological Reviews on innate immunity (with an adaptive twist!) where @JosefowiczLab and I convinced a bunch of talented colleagues to contribute.

Excited to share my very first publication! Thanks Maz for giving me the chance to write about innate immune memory- a new concept to us, but an ancient phenomenon.
"Discovering adaptive features of innate immune memory" In this review with super talented @minasadeghii we discuss how evolutionary, mitochondria and cellular metabolism along with diverse signaling pathways shape innate memory responses.

Excited to share my research was published today @NatureComms ! We find that bystander activated T cells, rather than the virus itself, is responsible for virus-associated neurological disease! @Ashkar_Lab @MacImmunology @machealthsci @McMasterIIDR

I'm so honoured to be a part of this team and community. Read about some of our work here. @morganpughtoole @NersesianSarah @AnnaNicolela
We interviewed Dr. @JeanetteEB, scientific director at the @BHCRI and associate professor at @DalhousieU in Halifax, to learn more about her work in harnessing the power of natural killer (NK) cells for #immunotherapy in #ovariancancers. bit.ly/BoudreauNKCells
