To the leadership of the American Diabetes Association: Dear Mr. Henderson and Dr. Kalyani, By now, you have probably received plenty of missives about the police action against scientists and clinicians with your own organization at your national meeting. 1/

If you are interested in molecular regulation of innate immunity or nanobody technology, we have a few exciting postoc positions to fill in the Schmidt lab @unibonn.bsky.social in the context of @immunosens.bsky.social. Please share!

This yearˋs Löffler-Frosch-Medal for his lifetime achievements and contributions to virology goes to our former president Prof. Ralf Bartenschlager @ciid-heidelberg.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social! So greatly deserved, congratulations, Ralf! #gfv2026

Ready for the #BonnOrganoidSymposium 2026 at @unibonn.bsky.social ….

We're thrilled to share the lab's latest publication demonstrating how caspase-4 and the non canonical inflammasome recognize cytosolic LPS by preferentially binding to the convex portions of membranes - both bacterial and micelles @cp-immunity.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Early weekend read: Our new review on #antiviral #inflammasomes spearheaded by Jennifer Wuerth with some recommendations for inflammasome detection is out! @unibonn.bsky.social @immunosens.bsky.social www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/18...

Cryo-EM structure reveals how influenza A virus NEP binds the viral polymerase at a regulatory hotspot, coordinating RNA synthesis and nuclear export. Fantastic collaboration with @loiccarrique.bsky.social and Jon Grimes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Ever wondered how you can specifically inhibit #AIM2 #inflammasomes? @y-m-tesfamariam.bsky.social generated inhibitory AIM2 #nanobodies to ‬dissect inflammasome responses to #poxvirus infections in human #PrimaryCells @unibonn.bsky.social @immunosens.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Looking for passionate candidate to apply to PhD fellowship to University of Murcia call: www.um.es/documents/d/... Interested students contact me!

🚨 New in The EMBO Journal! Loss of BBS8 disrupts ciliary Hedgehog signaling, switching adipocyte precursors into fibrogenic cells—remodeling adipose tissue before obesity begins. 🔬 #BBS #cilia @for5547.bsky.social @sfb1454.bsky.social @batenergy.bsky.social 📄 www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Thrilled to start the 2nd Bonn #Organoid Day with more than 100 participants at @unibonn.bsky.social!

KSHV miRNAs target STING to evade innate immunity and facilitate KSHV lytic reactivation from latency @cp-cellreports.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell-reports...

David Liu @harvard.edu beautifully articulates the criticality of basic science funding for developing revolutionary therapeutics like life-saving base editors 👏 youtu.be/8YhJM6zxYDw?...

Hurray! ImmunoSensation will go on! 🥳 The @dfg.de just announced that ImmunoSensation3, focussing on Immune Diversity will be funded! Let us #celebrate 7 more years of #immunology in #Bonn 🎉 www.immunosensation.de/news/immunos...

This work was spearheaded by @florianngohr.bsky.social at @unibonn.bsky.social. He is an outstanding immunologist/virologist currently looking for #postdoc opportunities!

Late #WeekendRead: We describe a novel reporter to visualize endogenous #inflammasome assembly. Suitable for cell lines, primary cells, and tissues as well as quantification by #microscopy and #flowcytometry. Happy to share. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Let's not forget that apart from science advocacy the Rauch lab also does kick-ass science! Together with the @psmitchej.bsky.social and Tait Wojno labs, we show that #tuftcells can induce specific protective signaling after recognition of intracellular bacterial infection via the #inflammasome!
