IIG seminar “ Myeloid-derived IL-33 intersects with neuronal immunity ”
This seminar will be given by Dr. Herbert who has made important contributions towards understanding mechanisms controlling development of alternatively activated macrophages and Type 2 inflammation within the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract. His recent findings reveal a previously undescribed mechanism of intercellular cross-talk wherein “ itch ” neuron activation reshapes myeloid cytokine expression patterns to alter skin composition for cutaneous immunity against invasive pathogens.Air date: 5/15/2024 4:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

IIG Seminar - Neuronal Control of Cutaneous Inflammation
Daniel H. Kaplan, MD, PhD is a Professor within the Department of Dermatology and Immunology, University of Pittsburgh. His laboratory is currently focused on understanding how intracellular communication mechanisms between immune cells and non-hematopoietic cells in the skin modulate cutaneous immunity and skin disease. The upcoming seminar will focus on the unique contributions of individual subsets of peripheral sensory neurons to the maintenance of cutaneous homeostasis and the development of inflammation.Air date: 4/17/2024 4:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

NLM Science, Technology, and Society Lecture - Confronting Race, Gender, & Ability Bias in Tech with Meredith Broussard
On Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at 2:00 pm ET, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) is hosting its fourth annual Lecture on Science, Technology, and Society with a talk from Meredith Broussard. What if racism, sexism, and ableism aren't just glitches in mostly functional machinery — what if they're coded into our technological systems? In this talk, data scientist and journalist Meredith Broussard explores why neutrality in tech is a myth and how algorithms can be held accountable. Broussard, one of the few Black female researchers in artificial intelligence, explores a range of examples: from facial recognition technology...

Sensing Inflammation in the Skin and Beyond
The type 2 immune response has evolved to arm the mammalian host with the capacity to expel parasites and noxious environmental substances from barrier surfaces. One critical aspect of this defense mechanism is stimulating protective behavioral responses such as coughing, sneezing, and scratching. Increasingly, it is appreciated that cytokines associated with type 2 immunity such as IL-4, IL-13, and IL-31 play critical roles in triggering mechanical reflexes like itch via direct interactions with sensory neurons. However, the tissue- and cell-specific manner in which these cytokines imprint unique sensory and neuroinflamma...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Exploring the functions of skin as an immunological interface
The skin is a vital barrier against environmental stressors such as thermal changes, sunlight, allergens, toxins, and microbes. An array of cell types including epithelia, fibroblasts, neurons, and vasculature act together to ensure its function. Immune cells have emerged as orchestrators of skin biology that collectively serve to reinforce the barrier against external threats. The composition and function of immune cells are constantly tuned by skin structures, microbial and inflammatory stimuli. In turn, skin immune cells engage in an active dialogue with the tissue to regulate the microbiota, limit microbial invasion an...

Mammalian DNases and their role in the tug of war between Staphylococcus aureus and the host
Immunology Interest Group
Victor J. Torres is a microbiologist investigating how multidrug-resistant bacteria cause disease and identifying new therapies to fight and prevent infection. Torres uses a diverse range of techniques spanning genetics, molecular biology, immunology, and bioinformatics to study the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). S. aureus causes a wide range of diseases, from mild skin infections to life-threatening blood infections. Highly virulent and, in some instances, resistant to antibiotics (known as methicillin-resistant S. aureus, or MRSA), S. aureus is responsible for millions of illnesses ...
