@pauljbaker.bsky.social, @sethlucianmasters.bsky.social et al. identify a 13-year-old male with complex symptoms including those consistent with familial chilblain lupus. This inborn error of immunity is due to a genomic translocation resulting in SAMHD1 deficiency rupress.org/jhi/article/...

Shouya’s amazing efforts have provided functional validation of many reported variants of (previously) unknown significance in the #NLRP3 #inflammasome, not only uncovering interesting aspects of NLRP3 biology, but also hopefully leading to improved diagnosis and treatment of patients with CAPS!

Have you ever wondered whether pyroptotic corpses have functions beyond the grave? We made the surprising discovery that pyroptotic corpses are flagged by #filopodia to alert #DendriticCells they need autopsy. A short Bluetorial (1/13)👇with movies! Link: rdcu.be/d2mjm

Pyroptotic cell corpses are crowned with F-actin-rich filopodia that engage CLEC9A signaling in incoming dendritic cells
Nature Immunology - Pyroptotic cell death results in inflammation. Here the authors find that F-actin-rich structures formed during macrophage pyroptosis persist after cell death to activate...

Thanks to all of our amazing coauthors including @kerryhilligan.bsky.social, @danbarberphd.bsky.social for spending many, many hours tolerating me in the BSL3 lab, helping with experiments and data analysis, and providing valuable advice and moral support!

Excited to share this paper from my post-doc at @niaidnews.bsky.social out now in Science Immunology! We show that recent or ongoing 🫁 infections or other pulmonary environmental exposures at the time of infection with SARSCoV2 can vastly influence early replication of the virus in mice.

The inflammatory microenvironment of the lung at the time of infection governs innate control of SARS-CoV-2 replication
Recent or ongoing respiratory inflammation in the lung regulates antiviral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2.

This month’s cover features an adult female Hpb in the center, flanked by adult Hpb males with their characteristic caudal bursae on the left and right sides, crescent-shaped Hpb larvae from various stages surrounding the adults, and Hpb eggs in the four corners of the image.
