At AAI, just listened to a fantastic talk by @Arien_Schiepers, very elegant new mouse model to understand B cell recruitment to the GC and the original antigenic sin. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-05715-3… @victora_lab #AAI2023 #immunology2023

Correct, just means they show up more often in human-transmitted SARS2 than expected given mutation rate, so must be favorably selected.
Cannot distinguish if because of immune escape or transmissibility. But for non-spike mutations probably the latter.

How much BBB can you safely open with ultrasound? Turns out nearly all of it. We showed transduction improves when opening volumes go up, made map of transduction efficiency, and noninvasively edited brain’s genome. Lead by 1st-year student @Shinouraein
