Monogenic autoinflammatory diseases tended to be defined by specific cytokines, such as IL-1b, IL-6, TNF and type I IFN. However, the condition APLAID did not fit, and instead we find that it may be the first of a new category that are caused by G-CSF. rdcu.be/c8Mrs
🔊 🗓️ SAVE THE DATE ASI Innate Immunity SIG and Australian Inflammation Centres as well as Australasian Cell Death Society jointly host a symposium on 10-11 Nov at the University of Adelaide. More details to come. #ASImmunology #innateimmunity #inflammation #celldeath
A starter pack for anyone interested in #autoinflammation and #autoinflammatory diseases. Please let me know if you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/5M6obrp

Most certainly in my calendar! Miss this chance and the next one is not till 2027!
We are delighted to invite you to the 13th Meeting of the International Society of Systemic Autoinflammatory Diseases (ISSAID), which will take place in Paris from April 8th to 10th, 2025. ▶️ issaid.org/issaid2025/ @HelenLachmann @AAlliance_SAID @_ERNRITA @contactfai2r
Come along to our #StudentOpenDay & take your research degree in biomedicine & clinical sciences to the next level Thurs 15th August 5-7pm Auditorium, Level 4, Green Chemical Futures Building, 13 Rainforest Walk, Monash University, Main Clayton Campus ➡️ bit.ly/3qe6em0
Also! I'm recruiting for a... Post doc: aurecruitment.actionhrm.com/myrecruit/newA… And an RA: aurecruitment.actionhrm.com/myrecruit/newA… If you're interested in discovering weird and wonderful triggers of inflammation in #neurodevelopmentaldisorder, #neurodegeneration and #inflammatorydisease please apply
Our laboratory is hiring at the Postdoc or RA level! If Innate Immunology and Autoinflammatory Disease are of interest to you consider to join us @Hudson_Research in Melbourne Australia! seek.com.au/job/77002348 seek.com.au/job/77007854
IL-18 as a contributor to renal involvement in lupus-like disease, an interesting proposal based on an NLRC4 Gain-of-Function Mutation by @AlexandreBelot and colleagues kireports.org/article/S2468-…
There was one big update in this publication by @science_sophie since the preprint - a second patient with the same dominant negative mutation in Otulin, contributed by @jqanatish and others from the King Abdullah Children’s Hospital in Riyadh. 🙏 all!
In @JExpMed, Davidson, Shibata, @komander_lab @sethmasters @WEHI_research et al identify a novel dominant negative heterozygous mutation in OTULIN (p.Cys129S) that enhances cell death & inflammatory signaling, thereby driving autoinflammatory disease. hubs.la/Q02t8-B50
No surprise I can't remember those TLR9 siRNA experiments... rdcu.be/dCHcO
The registration website for our upcoming Inflammasome EMBO Workshop on September 24-27, 2024 is now live. Check out the fantastic line-up of speakers who will be joining us 🤩. Also, lots of opportunities for short talks available! meetings.embo.org/event/24-infla…
We have an open Melbourne-based #PhD position in the @sethmasters lab @Hudson_Research & the @IsbBonn @UniBonn. The project focusses on the role of the inflammasome in the context of autoinflammatory diseases. For more info see👉bit.ly/3S3e89A
Our world leading #Inflammation programs enter a new era with the appointment of Prof @sethmasters to lead the Centre for Innate Immunity & Infectious Diseases (@CiiiD_Hudson)! 👏🏽
Thrilled to see this research published! ALPK1 is a kinase activated by bacterial ADP-heptose, but disease-causing mutations allow it to also be activated by human metabolites, thereby leading to chronic signalling! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #ALPK1 #ROSAH @mrcppu @UoDLifeSciences
