Just wrapped our @Fusion_Conf on Inter-organelle Communication in Inflammation and Disease. 4 days of outstanding science! Thanks to all speakers, poster presenters, and other attendees for making it a great meeting. (Photo of some of us on excursion to Marsaxlokk village).

About two months to go until the Fusion Inter-Organelle Communication in Inflammation and Disease Conference in Malta. Short talk slots and travel scholarships still available. We'd love to see you at #IOSCD25 so please apply! @fusionconf.bsky.social

Congrats to Omkar Shinde and Pingwei Li for resolving the cryo-EM structures of free and cGAMP-bound ABCC1. This paper follows on the great work from Dan Stetson's lab revealing ABCC1 as a cGAMP exporter. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
