Thanks Robin Prof. Robin Patel for the shout out! Much appreciated!





Today in Cell we report a new pathway of ketone metabolism. This BHB shunt generates an orphan family of anorexigenic ketone metabolites that are chemical cousins of exercise-inducible Lac-Phe. Congratulations MarĂa D. Moya-Garzon Sarafan ChEM-H cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Excited to share this work from Lee Korshoj in Nature Communications on a new bacterial scRNA-seq platform we used to demonstrate S. aureus biofilm heterogeneity and transcriptional adaptations to immune cell populations. rdcu.be/d1gAw UNMC Pathology, Microbiology & Immunology #biofilm


Our study appearing in Nature Communications showing the importance of the T6SS of Klebsiella pneumoniae in gut colonization. We combined tn-seq with metagenomics and identified new microbiota targets and T6SS regulators. nature.com/articles/s4146…





Happy to share our recent paper from Zach Van Roy and Gunjan Kak on how CD4 T cell-innate immune crosstalk regulates Staphylococcus aureus craniotomy infection. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39989461/ UNMC Pathology, Microbiology & Immunology UNMC MD-PhD Scholars Program #biofilm



The debut paper from the lab is live! Check out the amazing work by Ashley Wise-Mitchell and collaborators discovering that mitochondria are not just the 'powerhouse of the cell' but adapted by neutrophils to sense bacterial persistence and trigger NETosis. cell.com/action/showPdf…


Happy to share our recent take on #Tcell #exhaustion in #cancer and #infection, now out at Nature Rev Immunol. Kudos to Cell Stress & Immunity (CSI) Lab for taking the lead here, and to our co-authors offtwitter(?)!! Available at rdcu.be/ehm67 Fox Chase Cancer Center




Latest from the lab! We show in Mucosal Immunology a new humanized mouse model of S. aureus infection using human lung tissue examining the immune and bacterial responses! #OpenAccess mucosalimmunology.org/article/S1933-…
