In this episode, Lara and Vyanka discuss the rare VEXAS syndrome with Prof Sinisa Savic, exploring its symptoms, genetic mutations, and diagnostic challenges. They also touch on the role of somatic mutations in inflammatory diseases, showcasing the importance of personalized medicine and genetic breakthroughs in disease management.

Professor Stuart Tangye discusses the vital role of B cells in immune responses, focusing on antibody production and memory cell formation. The podcast also explores the interplay of immunodeficiency and autoimmunity, therapeutic targets for improving immunity, and the significance of B cells and antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Additionally, it delves into the diversity and functions of CD21 low or TBAP expressing B cells in the context of inborn errors of immunity.

Explore the complexity of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria, treatment options like Omalizumab, advancements in medications like Remibrutinib and Barzdol Volimap, and the link between urticaria and mental health in this insightful podcast by Lara and Vyanka.

In this episode, the hosts interview Prof Helen Lachmann about autoinflammatory syndromes, discussing their presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. They also cover diverse symptoms and the use of IL-1 blockade as a treatment option. The chapter on AA amyloidosis explores its causes, management, and prevention. Acquired autoinflammatory diseases in adults and the relationship between somatic mosaicism and critical gene changes are also discussed. The hosts express gratitude and bid farewell to the listeners for the year.

Explore inborn errors of immunity with Job's Syndrome and GATA2 deficiency. Unravel the complexities of STAT3 and its role in inflammation and immune response. Discover the genetic mysteries behind rare syndromes and ongoing research. Delve into antibodies against cytokines and their impact on diseases like COVID. Gain insights into the evolving understanding of STAT3 mutations in immunology.

In this podcast, the hosts discuss penicillin allergy, drug allergy de-labelling, and the development of the PEN-FAST tool with insights from Prof Jason Trubiano. They highlight the consequences of mislabeled penicillin allergies, debunk myths surrounding penicillin allergies, and emphasize the importance of investigating allergy histories. The discussion also touches on research on vaccination allergy, COVID-19 vaccine outcomes, and the role of allergists in addressing concerns.
