Congrats @rupa_immanuel & team!
Happy to share our latest #preprint that reveals the #new role of how Mtb's adenylate cyclase switch can act as a foundation for its distinct physiology during conditional adaptation. Special thanks
@ISBNitinBaliga and @isbsci for an incredible support!

En el Instituto de Biología de Sistemas de Seattle (EE.UU), han encontrado que la infección por SARS-CoV-2 puede activar un programa inmunitario que se asemeja mucho a otros trastornos autoinmunes ya establecidos.

A distinct B-cell subset was pinpointed as the main source of harmful autoantibodies after COVID-19, and patients with more of them tended to show weaker virus-neutralizing antibody responses. @isbsci @ImmunityCP medicalxpress.com/news/2026-…
ISB retweeted
Self-directed antibodies are found in people with #LongCovid. A key source of these was identified, and these autoantibodies and cell origin are also seen in lupus. @ImmunityCP

Why do some people develop harmful autoantibodies after COVID-19? New ISB-led research in Immunity traces their production to a distinct population of B cells and reveals striking connections to autoimmune disease.
