Not everything ends up in the cover but can still highlight great science. This was an interesting project to combine two nature papers showing mitochondrial mtDNA and RNA release in the kidney and macrophages. Groundbreaking work by FrezzaLab PrudentLab @RyanLab_MBU et al.

Honoured to be a small part of this important discovery led by the fantastic Tristram Ryan demonstrating the anticoagulant capabilities of DMF and 4-OI, published in Nature Communications. Congrats!

Immunometabolism community: We seek a postdoc to work at the intersection between immunity, metabolism, and inflammation within a unique multidisciplinary consortium. Please get in touch with me if you are interested! This is going to be very exciting!

Happy to share our work showing that the NRF2 activating compounds, DMF and 4-OI, induce the secretion of the anti-inflammatory protein Annexin A1 from macrophages! Ciana Diskin Juliana Escher Toller Luke O'Neill doi.org/10.4049/jimmun…

Alex Hooftman, Christian Peace and I wrote a short open access commentary on the role of #mitochondria and nucleic acid signalling in inflammatory disease. Check it out if the field is of interest to you and your research 👇👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ct…

Immunometabolism lovers,the review I wrote with Maureen Yin, PhD and Luke O'Neill for Trends in Immunology is out!🤩📚We focused on the role of ETC in shaping innate and adaptive immune response and how ETC inhibitors could potentially be used as a future treatment for immune-mediated disease.

Had a cracking time meeting all of the EMBO Fellows EMBL in Heidelberg. Some amazing science being done across Europe and further afield! Also very grateful to EMBO for funding our research over the last few years #emboat60
