Our latest work from @brozlab.bsky.social and led by @alexandraboegli.bsky.social is out now in @embojournal.org. Check out our findings on how the intestinal #inflammasome NLRP6 senses lysosomal damage to trigger pyroptotic cell death.

It's always a pleasure to spend the day out with the lab. Today was all about sharing our research and hearing about the other work going on in the department. I was able to share and get valuable feedback on our latest insights on NINJ1 in #celldeath and #inflammation.

#Pathogens #Lysosomes #CellDeath what's not to like? Check out our latest work deciphering how the protein NLRP6 links all of these to protect your gut from infections like Listeria.

New research revealed how NINJ1 is kept inactive in living cells. Head over to Nature News & Views to check out our thoughts on these cool findings. Free to read at rdcu.be/d2nqH

If you're interested in knowing what I'm currently working on in the lab, we recently posted a preprint of our findings www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... I study cell death and inflammation and am also interested in how cells defend themselves against infection.

Ninjurin-1 mediated plasma membrane rupture is a two-step process requiring cell swelling
Plasma membrane rupture (PMR) and the release of cytosolic content are hallmarks of necrotic cell death. The plasma membrane protein ninjurin-1 (NINJ1) actively promotes cell lysis by polymerizing int...
