Puhar Lab

We study infection and inflammation in the gut with focus on the endogenous danger signal extracellular ATP.

[Puhar Lab @LabPuhar]

Our new paper is out! We show that mechanical detection of bacterial entry by a mechanosensitive plasma membrane channel triggers ATP secretion and immune gene expression. Thus, physical signals can initiate the immune response to infection 🧵 https://t.co/jRoBPRpK8v @CellReports

It is out! 🚨 Phosphorous-free bacterial lipids can switch between pro- and anti-inflammatory depending on context!🔬 #Immunology #LipidBiology @PelegrinPablo @inflammasomelab
A big thanks to the reviewers and editors. It was a laborious but smooth process🥳

This preprint could be a candidate for the Ig Nobel prize (which always has some truth in it). Don't stop at the title, do read the abstract!
