The plot thickens...our thoughts on #mitochondria and metabolism during infection. TL;DR, Maybe sensing of mito. dysfunction evolved as an important signal to cue progression of immune states. @ASMicrobiology@mbiojournal

ONLINE NOW in @CellCellPress: @PeterLyLab has discovered large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells & that DNA can persist, change how the recipient cell functions. Read more about this #relentlessdiscovery ⬇️ https://t.co/cmNRqAfXaR
Mitochondria do more than power cells; they shape antiviral immunity. This new #mBio mGem offers insights into metabolic rewiring during infection. https://t.co/oBSNmvqFOP #immunology#virology#mitochondria#immunometabolism
Switches: New..lots of protein-coding mRNAs encode #miRNA ..former Ph.D. student's last hurrah building on our #mitochondria C15orf48/miR-147b stuff https://t.co/OcRcivVXNZ
We’re delighted to invite the @UTSWMedCenter community to the Annual SURF & Amgen Scholars Research Symposium on August 6!
Join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of our scholars and showcase the impactful research they’ve conducted this summer. @UTSWGradSchool@RTPatUTSW
Attending the Amgen Scholars North America Symposium was a rewarding & inspiring experience. The talent of the Amgen Scholars is truly spectacular. We thank @AmgenFoundation for their continued commitment to providing opportunities to our future scientific leaders. @UTSWMedCenter
Very proud to have our lab's first work published in @cellhostmicrobe!
In this work, we use functional metagenomics to find phage defenses from human and soil microbiomes!
Congrats to first author @luis840alberto !

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.

Why do some genetic mutations devastate specific tissues while sparing others?
We explore this question in GGC repeat disorders, revealing a mechanism linking protein aggregation to tRNA splicing failure in the brain.
