…e pathway Dr. Purser connects IL-23 receptor signaling with inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and inflammatory joint pathways. Targeting IL-23 with a medicine is different from concluding that a genetic result proves excessive receptor…

…er discusses the ST2 receptor, type 2 immune responses, and signals involving eosinophils and allergic inflammation. This helps connect barrier injury with immune-cell activity without treating one biomarker as a complete explanation. Brin…
