Are there spatial restrictions in NLRP3 #inflammasome activation? I am super excited to share our new study spearheaded by amazing @BorsicElvira nature.com/articles/s4146…

We're hiring @kemijski ! We aim to translate technologies of synthetic biology toward therapeutic applications, using both protein and RNA-based strategies. PhDs or MSc excited about #syntheticbiology #biotech #proteindesign #RNAdesign are invited to inquire and apply. Pls RT🔁

Zaposlujemo raziskovalce na D12 @kemijski ! Raziskave tehnologij sintezne biologije za nove načine zdravljenja z uporabo strategij, na osnovi proteinov in RNA. Vabimo PhD ali MSc, navdušene nad #syntheticbiology #biotech #proteindesign #RNAdesign da se prijavijo.👇🔄

We are excite d 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. cell.com/cell-reports/f… @uconnresearch @uconnhealth 1/2

Proteins are nucleic acids are programmable molecules that can assemble into amazing functional nanostructures. Why not merry them even more tightly by stable covalent bonds? doi.org/10.1002/smll.2… 👇

Clustering of NLRP3 induced by membrane or protein scaffolds promotes inflammasome assembly nature.com/articles/s4146… @NatureComms @HafnerIva

Izvrsten prikaz pomena prebojne znanosti za dobrobit človeštva in zdravljenje bolezni 🎙@davidrliu. Z nesmiselnim rezanjem podpore znanost si 🇺🇸 dela veliko škodo.

NLRP3 inflammasomes can assemble on most organelles. A beautiful study by Hafner et al demonstrate the flexibility of organelles that can support inflammasome activation. Kudos to the authors on an intriguing study. nature.com/articles/s4146… @HafnerIva @BorsicElvira

Subcellular location of NLRP3 is not essential, but clustering on different scaffolds is. This explains how NLRP3 can react to so many diverse stress signals. 9/9

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 @NatureComms: nature.com/articles/s4146… See 🧵👇 1/9

Here @BorsicElvira nicely explains what we discovered...

We are looking for 1 mid-career scientist (and postdocs) willing to join us as SR-Tiget in Milan. Basic and translational immunology, gene and cell therapy, genome/protein tech, computational biology... all welcome 💚🤍❤️ check the Call, pls RT! fondazionetelethon.it/en/what-we-do/…
