Happy to share our review on #cytokine pharmacology and therapeutics, out now in @NatRevDrugDisc! Written with @CalebGlassman and Chris Garcia, we discuss the 'tunable parameters' of cytokine signaling, and how they can be exploited therapeutically

Beyond excited to present some of our most recent work on the IL-17 family of cytokines. @Nature Accelerated Article Preview available now! https://t.co/o9a4UroaMq This was an amazing collaboration started by the one and only @steven_c_wilson! (1/9)
For more than 25 years, researchers around the world have been trying to find the structure of Janus kinases, or JAKs, a class of proteins that have been tied to many cancers and autoimmune diseases. https://t.co/Kc9rCMRMWk

HHMI News: After more than two decades of effort, scientists have solved the full-length structure of a Janus Kinase, a crucial signaling molecule, opening the door to new and better drugs for some cancers.

Our structure of an active Janus Kinase-Cytokine Receptor dimer is out in @ScienceMagazine. We found a dimerization interface between apposing pseudokinase domains that is stabilized by oncogenic Val-Phe mutation resulting in ligand-independent activation https://t.co/pCmAXeCLpU
Excited to present our work tackling a classic question: How do cytokine receptors and oncogenic mutations activate Janus Kinases? @ScienceMagazine
Led by my buddy @CalebGlassman (https://t.co/dn7zlyLpBR) from the Garcia Lab, now…https://t.co/pJXNZPAwKW https://t.co/Ev0iA36xxj
New preprint up now with @CaveneyNA. We find that IL-27 assembles a receptor complex similar to IL-6 but distinct from other heterodimeric cytokines such as IL-12 and IL-23. Check out NAC's thread for the 📖. https://t.co/pqgb5XD9i1
Excited to share today the first of my postdoctoral work - the structure of the IL-27 signaling complex: https://t.co/HqcTAV8HB2
This was a great team effort working w/ the one and only cytokine cowboy @CalebGlassman, Kevin Jude, @1987NT, and Chris Garcia. Tweetorial to follow:
Look at this beautiful structure by the two young stars from the Garcia Lab, Nathanael Caveney (@CaveneyNA) and @CalebGlassman! Nicely resolved all three interfaces.

Happy to share more structural implications for viral GPCRs.
They are enigmatic but appear to represent differences between robust Gq and less efficient Gi signaling of US28. Through evolution, US27 lost the ability to bind a chem…https://t.co/dmtdBQK2d8 https://t.co/9aeryezUba
Our paper on calibrating IL-2 signaling is out today in @eLife! We used structure-based engineering to identify a regulatory T cell biased agonist of IL-2 receptor that exploits cell-intrinsic differences in cytokine sensitivity.

Our paper on IL-12 and IL-23 is out today in @CellCellPress! Using structures of the IL-12 and IL-23 receptor complexes, we engineered versions of IL-12 that support T cell anti-tumor immunity without NK cell toxicity

Very happy to share our work on IL-22 out today in @ImmunityCP! We used structure-based engineering to develop IL-22R agonists that elicit both biased STAT activation AND tissue selectivity, promoting tissue protection without inducing inflammation.

Very excited to share our work on IL-10 out today in @ScienceMagazine! We solved the cryo-EM structure of the IL-10 receptor complex and used it to design myeloid-selective IL-10 variants that uncouple its pro- and anti-inflammatory effects https://t.co/inApZbznWg
