Biologics #dupilumab and #tralokinumab offer targeted treatment, with real-world studies supporting safety, efficacy, and personalized dosing in the treatment of #eczema. These were the main take-aways of the PhD thesis of Coco Dekkers at @UMCUtrecht https://t.co/qLtC7BK0EZ

The presence of AI-recognized immune cells in metastatic skin #cancer prior to the start of #immunotherapy provides a good prediction of the likelihood of a successful treatment, concluded a multicenter study by Mark Schuiveling at @UMCUtrecht. More here: https://t.co/ikz32xoDwT

Researchers at @UMCUtrecht discovered that converting IgG #antibodies into IgM makes them effective against a broader range of #bacteria. A promising step toward new antibody-based therapies for bacterial #infections. Read more:👉 https://t.co/JVbf8cOWRZ

🎓In her PhD research, Anna Vyborova at @UMCUtrecht uncovered the rationale for γδT cell receptor diversity and its interaction with BTN2A1/BTN3A1. This has led to bispecific γδTCR-based molecules that can redirect αβT cells — promising for immunotherapy https://t.co/WZGWhD0BVs

Why do breastfed babies often get fewer respiratory tract infections than others? 👉Research by Arthur van Stigt at @UMCUtrecht sheds light on how breast milk shapes a baby’s immune system. The findings could have major implications for children’s health https://t.co/419rbjQ0gV

The @UMCUtrecht is seeking a junior researcher (MSc or MD) ánd a post-doc to join its Infectious Disease Epidemiology group to study the long-term health consequences of post-COVID. More info here: Junior researcher: https://t.co/gzVios2xPB Post-doc: https://t.co/ToV4Uj0hDo

The PhD tracks by Rik Verheijden and Mick van Eijs @UMCUtrecht highlight the importance of balancing immunosuppressive treatment of checkpoint inhibitor toxicity to optimize outcomes. The findings also emphasize the need for personalized treatment. More👉 https://t.co/QEKMBjQpv2

Researchers at @CTI_UMCUtrecht have secured grants to support an innovative new line of research: developing scientifically valid human skin models that mimic systemic sclerosis in vitro. They will contribute to testing of candidate therapies. More:

.@P_Bruijning, Professor of Epidemiology of Vaccination and Infectious Disease Control at @UMCUtrecht argued in her inaugural lecture that infectious diseases are constantly changing — and therefore we must adapt to such changes as well Read more here: https://t.co/kgGIHE0KUK

We congratulate Helen Leavis with her appointment as professor of Clinical Immunology at @UniUtrecht and @UMCUtrecht. She will focus on care and scientific research of adults with immune deficiencies and (rare) immune-mediated inflammatory diseases More👉 https://t.co/lJ6PBMOv09

Although the #HIV reservoir in blood declines over time during ART, low levels of a viral reservoir remain present. In the brain, an HIV reservoir capable of replicating was found in #microglia, said Marieke Nühn at @UMCUtrecht in her #phdresearch More 👉 https://t.co/2CDFjAa4tD

PhD research by Suus Bongers at @UMCUtrecht shows after severe #trauma an increase of CD16 #neutrophils (strong bacterial killing ability), followed by a shift to CD62L neutrophils (lower antibacterial ability, but more regulatory function) Read more: https://t.co/AhjjW8mO8G

Today is World #IBD Day! At UMC Utrecht we investigate the cause(s) and potential treatments of inflammatory bowel diseases, including #CrohnsDisease and #UlcerativeColitis. Watch this video with Sarah Dijkstra and Bas Oldenburg explaining the TWIN study:

We offer a PhD-student position at @CTI_UMCUtrecht in a collaboration with @UniLeiden. You will address long standing fundamental questions on inhibitory immune receptor: ligand interactions to develop inhibitory receptor agonists. More info here:

A mathematical modeling study coordinated by UMC Utrecht has shown that both sustained HIV remission (without rebound) ánd HIV eradication cure scenarios could reduce new HIV infections among men who have sex with men in the Netherlands. Full story here: https://t.co/TqGjo0qFBb

Researchers from Princess Máxima Centre, @hetWKZ and @UMCUtrecht have taken a first step towards a new DNA test to allow a faster and more accurate diagnosis of fungal infections in children with #leukaemia or after a stem cell transplant. Read more 👉 https://t.co/mE3I9BdBaS

Great news: the RECLAIM study, an adaptive platform trial that investigates the efficacy and safety of metformin and colchicine in patients with #PostCovid in the Netherlands, has recently recruited its first participants. Read the full article here: 👉 https://t.co/d84fSoyJHg

Researchers from @amsterdamumc and @UMCUtrecht jointly developed a multifaceted intervention to improve the recognition and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in frail older adults, resulting in a 50% reduction in antibiotic use for UTIs https://t.co/QyChjBBwCo

An interactive booklet can help reduce use of antibiotics in children with fever. @UMCUtrecht, @Unimaas, @LUMC_Leiden and @ErasmusMC collaborate to improve an existing booklet so that it also meets the needs of parents with limited health literacy More 👉: https://t.co/YAFjarazk3
