Congratulations to the newest graduate from the Humphreys Lab! Dan Stark passed his viva with flying colours.

@MCB_Sheffield @collins_lab @melghazaly96 We found that DNA damage induced by typhoid toxin of Salmonella activated a tumour suppressor mechanism called senescence. The SASP secretome from the senescent cells contained Wnt5a and TGFβ ligands, which damaged cells in the infection niche and promoted Salmonella infection

We are very excited to share our latest work that we released on BioRxiv today. Check it out: https://t.co/CdnWk8QNDk
