Have you ever wondered whether age-associated immune defects can be corrected? I am SUPER excited to share our new study from Jonathan Kagan Lab where we found that vaccines containing DC hyperactivators enables CD4+ T cells to eradicate tumors. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jFOm_278y%7…




For 25 years, the Toll-like Receptor pathway was considered a series of distinct protein complexes that drive inflammation. Today, we report that the entire pathway, from receptor to transcription factor, is executed from within one complex—the myddosome. nature.com/articles/s4158…


Excited to share our newly published preview in Immunity covering recent insights into IL-18 activation! There is still much to learn about the pro(domains) and conf(ormations) of IL-1 family cytokines! Julie Andries Savvas Savvides Lab doi.org/10.1016/j.immu…





Anyone left on Science Twitter who has spike specific CD8+ T cells? Wonder how you made them? Wonder no more. #27 ICIS 🦋 @cytokinesociety.bsky.social Jonathan Kagan Ivan Zanoni biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New insights into the noncanonical inflammasome point to caspase-4 as a druggable target Interesting perspective by Judy Lieberman, Prof. Hao Wu, and colleagues Nature Rev Immunol nature.com/articles/s4157…

Ever wondered where NLRP3 needs to be in the cell to activate the inflammasome? Turns out, it does not really matter. Check out our latest study in Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146… See 🧵👇 1/9
