"I investigate the use of clinical metagenomics as a diagnostic tool for bloodstream infections 🩸This can bechallenging because the number of bacteria in the blood can be very low during bloodstream infections — there can be 1 to 10 bacterial cells per millilitre of blood."

Delighted to get the chance to contribute a section on 'writing authentic crime fiction' in #thirteendeadlyintentions which also includes a number of great crime stories and is available now @abbie-editorial.bsky.social - all proceeds going to @investinmeresearch.bsky.social
A team in #ScienceTranslationalMedicine untangles the immune mechanisms connecting Epstein-Barr virus to #MultipleSclerosis, showing that CD4+ T cells from patients respond to viral particle components and that this response can be calmed with B cell-depleting therapy. scim.ag/4wL5u4C
CD4+ T cells reactive to Epstein-Barr virus late lytic antigens are enriched in individuals with multiple sclerosis
CD4+ T cells in MS preferentially recognize EBV viral particles rather than latent antigens, and responses are reduced by B cell–targeting therapies.
