Congratulations to Kathryn Rahlwes and the rest of the team on the new preprint from our group. We identify USP15, a deubiquitinase, as a key brake on macrophage immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Remove it, and macrophages control Mtb far more effectively. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Deubiquitinase USP15 restricts autophagy and macrophage immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Autophagy enables macrophages to degrade intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and this defense depends on E3 ubiquitin ligases such as PARKIN and SMURF1, which tag Mtb-associated structures...

Congrats to our fantastic ID fellow (Dr. Hannah Blanchard) and ID Faculty (Dr. Hayden Andrews, Dr. Netanya Utay) on their timely publication in @cidjournal.bsky.social on Measles immunity at our HIV clinic!! 👏 academic.oup.com/cid/advance-... @bradcutrellmd.bsky.social @netanyautay.bsky.social

Ellen Kitchell, MD, FIDSA, AAHIVM-S@ellenkitchell.bsky.social · 2y agoACCESS karaoke! Our finale (to give us strength doing HIV/ID work in Texas 2025): "I will survive, Long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive, I've got my life to live And all my love to give and I will survive!"
One of my approaches when we have residents/students/pharmD residents is to mention a key article/study and then have one of the trainees (not the busy ID fellow!) review and give a brief summary (3-5 mins) the next day. Everybody on team learns and find it more engaging. #IDsky
Joseph Marcus@josephmarcusid.medsky.social · 2y agoWhat is the correct # of articles for attending to send ID fellow after rounds? #IDSky 1️⃣ Many articles on relevant topics 2️⃣ 1-2 articles on relevant topics 3️⃣ Give fellow topics; up to fellow to find articles 4️⃣ Other (pls comment below) 📊 Show results
