Bronnec, @cinflammasome.bsky.social et al. @ciri-lyon.bsky.social developed SpeckSeq to evaluate the pathogenicity of 228 MEFV variants. SpeckSeq leads to a revised classification of MEFV variants, new diagnoses, & novel insights on pyrin structure–function relationship. rupress.org/jem/article/...

November is a big month for the lab with *two* new papers by @ehartenian.bsky.social and @alexandraboegli.bsky.social ++ co authors now online. www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

www.nature.com/articles/s41... Cytosolic acetyl-coenzyme A is a signalling metabolite to control mitophagy

#ToPrimeOrNotToPrime, this is the question! Excited for our new review @cp-trendsimmuno.bsky.social with @oceanedufies.bsky.social in which we discuss what is “priming” for the #NLRP3 #inflammasome & how we can harness this knowledge to better control human diseases! #InflammasomePower! #Free 👇👇👇

#ThatIsTheQuestion Post-translational modifications of NLRP3: to prime or not to prime? Thrilled to have had the opportunity to write this review with @lozanzi.bsky.social 🤩! We discuss how PTMs coordinate during priming to control NLRP3 stability, location & partners. tinyurl.com/35dy5rcc

#InflammasomePower! 💥New paper alert💥 How is NLPR3 primed & activated in chronic non-communicable inflammatory diseases? With @oceanedufies.bsky.social &co we show that chronic exposure to oxPAPC drives NRF2 activation that primes & activates NLRP3 sustaining #atherosclerosis in mice & humans! 👇👇👇

#SpookyInflammasome 🎃 With @lozanzi.bsky.social &co, we show that sustained NRF2 activation by endogenous oxidized phospholipids primes and activates the NLRP3 inflammasome 🔥 to drive atherosclerosis. ... more to come on the priming !

#EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Luchetti @rauchlab.bksy.social Dixit &co show @nature.com that enteropathogenic bacteria evolved a virulence factor that degrades non-canonical #inflammasome & targets ROCKs necessary for luminal extrusion of infected intestinal #epithelial cells, favoring bacterial growth!

#InflammaZoom free Webinar is back on Monday October 20th! With James Murphy (WEHI, Melbourne, Australia) @pseudokinase.bsky.social and Jonathan Maelfait (VIB-UGent, Ghent, Belgium) Register now: bit.ly/4iXGqjw

💡Our webinars are back! Don’t miss our session on macrophage metabolism this September 18th at 1:00 PM CET. Stoyan Ivanov (Research Director; C3M, Nice) and Malvina Seradj (Postdoc; Institute of Cancer Research, London). 🔗 Register here: tinyurl.com/2feve67c

#InterferonPower Immensely honored and excited to share our new review on all things Interferons out now in @cp-cell.bsky.social. Grateful to the brilliant & inspiring @lozanzi.bsky.social for the chance to contribute! Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/c/1leKGL7PXu...

#InterferonPower! Thrilled for our latest work @cp-cell.bsky.social! With @danielboehmer.bsky.social, we dug into tons of papers & created what we hope will be a go-to resource for immunologists & non-immunologist about type I, II, III (& IV😉) #interferons! Free👉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1leKGL7PXu...

Everything you wanted to know about oxidized lipids & immunity, in one review. We explain how oxidized lipids impact inflammation, dendritic cells, anti-tumor immunity and more. Kudos to Joon Choi for his exceptional work. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

‼️ Congratulations to @malvinapiz.bsky.social on her cool work published today @embopress.org on Cardiolipin inhibiting Casp4 non-canonical inflammasome signaling outputs 👻 a lot of fun to work with Malvina and Mercedes @inflammasomelab.bsky.social on this project www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

#EpigeneticPower! 💥 #NewPaperAlert! We show @cp-immunity.bsky.social that endogenous oxidized lipids decide whether host survives or dies during #sepsis, #ARDS, or Staph infection! Ox lipids bind & inhibit #AKT, boosting inhibitory H3K27 methylation via EZH2 & blocking #IL10!

We are excited to have our new paper out: Tethering of the pathogen sensor caspase-4 to the endomembrane damage sensor galectin-8 poises the host to rapidly detect pathogens that breach the endolysosomal network. www.cell.com/cell-reports... #innate_immunity #inflammasome #celldeath #immunoSky 1/2

Thrilled to share our latest @cp-cell.bsky.social. We present VICAR (VIral-induced Centromeric DNA Amplification and Recognition), a new defense system to detect viruses in the nucleus based on nuclear cGAS. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Ever wondered where NLRP3 needs to be in the cell to activate the #inflammasome? Turns out, it does not really matter. Check out our latest study in @natcomms.nature.com: nature.com/articles/s41... See 🧵👇 1/9

Great work by the @inflammasomelab.bsky.social @s-burgener.bsky.social and colleagues showing in vivo the importance of caspase-1 inactivation in controlling inflammation! Impressive amount of work behind it, glad to see this out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The loss of TBK1, or both TBK1 and the related kinase IKKε, results in uncontrolled cell death–driven inflammation. We show that TBK1/IKKε prevent premature cell death by limiting the activity of multiple death pathways in myeloid cells. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

One of the coolest studies of last year would not be funded by the current NIH policy. By studying people undergoing gender affirming testosterone treatment, they discovered how sex hormones shape the #immune response, with important consequences for everyone! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#JoinUs! Today 4pm, Modell Center, I’ll be giving the @harvardmed.bsky.social @harvard.edu #Immunology seminar, tons of unpublished data, all about how we sense & respond to microbial & host-derived inflammatory signals during infections & sterile inflammatory diseases!

I am thrilled to share our latest article that has been published in @cp-immunity.bsky.social. We describe a new role for NLRP3 outside of its #inflammasome complex, where it can regulate microglial #metabolism & key metabolites that affect the epigenetic landscape(1) www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

Our paper out @Nature: CARD domains mediate anti-phage defense in bacterial gasdermin systems CARDs are essential for caspase recruitment during human inflammasome activation. We now find them in bacterial immune systems Congrats Tana Wein! Thank you Kranzusch lab! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
