Thrilled to share companion stories from our lab, out today in @ImmunityCP and @CellReports . We characterize an enzymatic TIR protein as an immune sensor in animals. See tweetorial from @UMassChan @UMassMDPhD student @tse_elegans

Stoked to share our companion stories, now out in @ImmunityCP and @CellReports! We characterize an enzymatic TIR protein as an immune sensor in animals, showing that it is a guard protein in an effector-triggered immune response. https://t.co/BQ42MDdvzx https://t.co/w6ff47pAdd 1/

You can read our new study, out now in @JCI_Insight! (https://t.co/RPG0UHKpKp) We examine how expression of a STING gain-of-function (GOF) mutation in radioresistant host cells results in the development of lymphocyte autoimmunity. Some highlights from our study: (1/7)
