🔓 Our review on inflammasomes in ARDS

🏥 ARDS treatments are limited

🫁 Multiple inflammasomes drive ARDS via IL-1β/18

💊 Their modulation offers potential therapies

🔬Human-specific research is needed

Thanks for all the kind messages today about my appearance at the #CovidInquiry. More to be said in evidence in the coming days (we stopped unexpectedly early today), but the report Ganesh and I wrote is now publicly available for anyone interested:

@SineadORourke8 @AndrewCooperajr @FrontImmunol Well done, Sinead! This is an excellent review on a fascinating topic. Great to see!

[Sinead O’Rourke Phd @SineadORourke8]

‼️New paper alert‼️

Our review exploring the ageing immune response in disease and the potential of the Nrf2-HO-1 axis as a therapeutic target is now available online at @FrontImmunol

@WinderFerda @McLoughlin_Lab Thanks, Ferda!

[Emilio Vozza @EmilioVozza]

I'm thrilled to share my recent publication with the amazing @McLoughlin_Lab and team! Together, we show that S. aureus can drive IFN-I dependent apoptosis in phagocytes to enhance nasal colonisation!

@SineadORourke8 @McLoughlin_Lab Thanks, Sinead, and thank you for your help in getting it over the line!

4) Together, we highlight the importance of IFN-I in facilitating S. aureus nasal colonisation and the role that phagocytes play in restricting this notorious opportunistic pathogen and important human coloniser!

[Emilio Vozza @EmilioVozza]

3) Loss of IFN-I removes trail and daxx expression and significantly reduces apoptosis of phagocytes in the nasal cavity, leading to enhanced clearance of S. aureus in colonised mice.

[Emilio Vozza @EmilioVozza]

2) we show that S. aureus induces IFN-I in a strain dependent manner, leading to the upregulation of the apoptotic factors trail and daxx culminating in caspase-3 cleavage.

Would highly recommend doing a PhD in the host pathogen interaction lab. Rachel is a superb supervisor with an amazing lab, and I am so happy to have done my PhD with her and the team!

[Dr Rachel Mcloughlin @McLoughlin_Lab]

We are hiring! If you are fascinated by how bacteria manipulate immune cells then this is the PhD for you!
