Join us for this exciting meeting! @embo.org Workshop "Pathogen Immunity and Signalling", 8-12 June, 2026, Leiden, The Netherlands meetings.embo.org/event/26-pat...

#WeekendRead! #ToSenseOrNotToSense! #MysterySolved! Berouti, Wagner, Carell, @v-hornung.bsky.social &co show @cp-cell.bsky.social that RNase T2 & PLDs generate #TLR7 & #TLR8 agonistic ligands only if RNA does not contains pseudouridines explaining avoidance of self RNA sensing!

Excited to share the first paper of my PhD, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Huge thanks to all authors, especially to co-first author Stefan Bauernfried, Alex Horswill‘s lab and @mannlab.bsky.social, and my supervisor @v-hornung.bsky.social. www.jbc.org/article/S002...

⏰ Deadline: Sept 17 (11:59pm MDT) Early-career scientists - submit an abstract or apply for a scholarship for #KSAutoImmune26: Autoimmunity & Autoinflammation 🧬 📅 Jan 19–22, 2026 | Breckenridge, CO 👉 keysym.us/KSAutoimmune26 youtu.be/nMsJANbMb-w #KSAutoImmune26 @v-hornung.bsky.social

The final version of our article about PLD3 AMPylation is now out shorturl.at/iTxWx. One protein, many proteoforms. Congratulations to Laura and thanks to @marleenberouti.bsky.social @v-hornung.bsky.social @jaelab.bsky.social @hellmichgroup.bsky.social

We are excited to announce the 2nd Symposium on the Immunobiology of Pattern Recognition Receptors, Oct 1-2 2025, Lausanne, Switzerland. Registrations open March 1 - Attendance limited to 150 participants. More info: wp.unil.ch/immunobiolog... #ImmunoSky

New: Sato, Miyake @UTokyo_News_en and colleagues report that the lack of RNase T2 activates TLR13, the sensor of bacterial 23S ribosomal RNAs, leading to the accumulation of tissue-protective Kupffer cells. https://buff.ly/4hw6kL0 Companion study by @v-hornung.bsky.social https://buff.ly/4jG49Gy

RNase T2 plays an important role in limiting self-RNA recognition by preventing erroneous activation of TLR13 @jem.org @v-hornung.bsky.social doi.org/10.1084/jem.... doi.org/10.1084/jem....

Our paper out @CellCellPress: Structure guided discovery of viral proteins that inhibit host immunity Congrats Erez Yirmiya, Azita Leavitt, Gil Amitai, our collaborators at the Kranzusch lab, and coauthors A 🧵 1/10 www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

VEIT HORNUNG @v-hornung.bsky.social @genecenter-lmu.bsky.social is awarded the 2025 Collen-Jeantet Prize for Translational Medicine for his important contributions to our understanding of how foreign nucleic acids and other non-self signals trigger the innate immune system.

Proteoforms matter! We show how AMPylation impacts PLD3 proteolytic processing and catalytic activity. Congratulations to Laura Hoffmann and thanks to all collaborators @jaelab.bsky.social, @v-hornung.bsky.social, @hellmichgroup.bsky.social and Wei Xiang lab! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
