Our new method to deconvolve low resolution dpatial data is out! It is the first method to simultaneously consider platform effects, small number of cell types per spot and spatial correlation of the cell type composition across spots. link.springer.com/10.1186/s1…

Important ‼️ This tweak to #CDC policy “Everyone in areas of substantial/high transmission should wear a mask, even if vaccinated”means any place indoors in the US - as cases are increasing EVERYWHERE - back to #MaskUp indoors – at New Haven, CT
#DeltaVariant surging in U.S. New data show Delta much more contagious than previous versions of #COVID19. Unvaccinated people: get vaccinated & mask until you do. Everyone in areas of substantial/high transmission should wear a mask, even if vaccinated.

Our largest EVER transcriptomic study of #sarcoidosis patients is out! We learned so much from this high-quality data but the data is so rich that there is still so much more to do with the data to learn more for better treatment of Sarcoidosis. TBC... #GRADS #CureSarcoidosis
1/n Finally! Biggest ever RNAseq study of #sarcoidosis is out - reveals associations of distinct transcriptional programs with major phenotypic traits ➡️suggests distinct novel Sarcoidosis endotypes #GRADS #CureSarcoidosis #SarcBALRNAseq see thread below erj.ersjournals.com/content/…

🙏 when I wrote the grant, even when we started recruitment, I never expected it to take that long - but when I looked at the data, I said 'it is so complicated, how will we finish?' but we did it #together and ➡️this will accelerate #Sarcoidosis research erj.ersjournals.com/content/…

9/n The greatest credit for #SarcBALRNAseq goes to shared co-first authors - Drs Vukmirovic & Yan - this was a Herculean effort - I feel fortunate and grateful to have worked (& keep working with both of them) 🙏 #sarcoidosis #teamscience #bigdata erj.ersjournals.com/content/…

8/n # of authors #SarcBALRNAseq does not come close to # people deserving credit - collaborators from Yale, Pitt, Hopkins, Penn, Vanderbilt, NJH, Az, MUSC, UCSF, Hannover, #sarcoidosis patients, @nih_nhlbi - THANKS ALL #PeopleIlookUpTo #TeamScience atsjournals.org/doi/10.1513/…

7/n All #SarcBALRNAseq data available on GEO database - GSE109516 - All analysis codes & results available on GitHub & online supplement #DataSharing #BigData. We hope to generate a #SarcoidAtlas data mining tool soon - stay tuned but for now check out yale-p2med.github.io/SARC_BA…

6/n Sex in #SarcBALRNAseq Results ➡️ while 53% of participants were women - we did NOT find any significant effects of gender on gene expression related to #sarcoidosis traits. Surprising - worth a deeper dive! #NegativeResultsMatter #SABV erj.ersjournals.com/content/…

5/n #SarcBALRNAseq Results ➡️ further study of gene modules suggested novel molecular endotypes of #sarcoidosis. 2nd cohort validated supervised & unsupervised results - Thanks Dr. Antje Prasse & team 🤝👏 #Collaboration #DataSharing erj.ersjournals.com/content/…

4/n #SarcBALRNAseq Results ➡️ unsupervised analysis identified distinct modules of gene expression associated with distinct combinations of phenotypic traits, exposures, and geographic location in #Sarcoidosis - I think this is important erj.ersjournals.com/content/…
Xiting Yan retweeted
4/n #SarcBALRNAseq Results ➡️ genes associated with race & disease severity in #sarcoidosis were enriched for aberrant lipid trafficking,
arachidonic acid production, SCAP/SREBP control of lipid metabolism - need to validate, explore deeper erj.ersjournals.com/content/…

3/n #SarcBALRNAseq Results ➡️ - In #Sarcoidosis TH1, TH17 transcriptional programs associate with hilar lymphadenopathy, TGFB1, MTOR signaling with parenchymal involvement, IL7 and IL2 airway involvement and so much more erj.ersjournals.com/content/…

2/n This is the 1st key #Sarcoidosis paper of the @nih_nhlbi funded GRADS multicenter study (atsjournals.org/doi/10.1513/… >250 research bronchoscopies, extensive phenotyping, RNAseq, microbiome, virome) below are some of the #SarcBALRNAseq insights ➡️ doi.org/10.1183/13993003.029…
