#InterferonPower! Thrilled for our latest work @CellCellPress! With @dfrboehmer, we dug into tons of papers & created what we hope will be a go-to resource for immunologists & non-immunologist about type I, II, III (& IV๐) #interferons! Free link ๐ https://t.co/gYwGir0npB
#EpigeneticPower! Our #NewPaper@ImmunityCP shows that endogenous oxidized lipids decide whether host survives or dies during #sepsis, #ARDS, or Staph infection! Ox lipids bind & inhibit #AKT, boosting inhibitory H3K27 methylation via EZH2, blocking #IL10! https://t.co/4av5UPDe9r
Beyond excited to share our #NewPaper in @CellCellPress! Inflamed environments acidify intracellular pH. BRD4 senses this via transcriptional condensates, tuning #macrophage responses to match demand and consequences of inflammation. #inflammation#pH https://t.co/VMQmTxQgLM
Finally, our study on caspase-11 and its CARD-recognized molecular pattern is out in Science Advances! A small step, but we hope it opens new directions for studying caspase-11 and its ligands. ๐ฌ๐ #Immunology#Caspase11#ScienceAdvances

The loss of TBK1, or both TBK1 and the related kinase IKKฮต, results in uncontrolled cell deathโdriven inflammation. We show that TBK1/IKKฮต prevent premature cell death by limiting the activity of multiple death pathways in myeloid cells.@FabiAlexFischer https://t.co/t0wbhGxfty
The more I think about it, the more I think 2013-era morality is pretty much correct:
* free speech good
* starting companies and making good products good
* monopolies bad, vendor lock-in bad
* democracy good
* greed bad
* trying to achieve national security through oppressing people bad
* cosmopolitan humanitarian values, caring about faraway people, etc good
Things we've "learned" since then have been harmful more than helpful
I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n
In a study published in @SciImmunology, led by @Dr_KatieM, @DanaFarber researchers have identified key factors that contribute to the success of donor lymphocyte infusion to treat relapse of acute myeloid leukemia after stem cell transplant.
