This study examines individuals who carry somatic, leukocyte-specific loss-of-function variants in the E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL.

Severe mycobacterial disease can arise from inherited defects in interferon-gamma immunity. This study identifies X-linked MCTS1 deficiency in men from several countries whose translation re-initiation factor is completely lost, which selectively impairs production of the kinase JAK2 across cell types.

This study investigates patients carrying a leukocyte-restricted loss of heterozygosity affecting CBL, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, who present with autoinflammatory disease.

In 1958, smallpox was rampant in Heidelberg. A conversation with medical historian Karen Nolte about this incident, its consequences, and how it all relates to COVID-19.

In everyday discussions about the climate crisis and sustainability, we all too often find ourselves agreeing—only to contradict ourselves with a big “but.” What if we refused? What if we stopped falling into that same old trap?
