Caspase-4 binds to LPS membranes with positive curvature for non-canonical inflammasome activation The non-canonical inflammasome, comprising caspase-4 in humans, initiates pyroptosis upon sensing cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negativ…

We're thrilled to share the lab's latest publication demonstrating how caspase-4 and the non canonical inflammasome recognize cytosolic LPS by preferentially binding to the convex portions of membranes - both bacterial and micelles @cp-immunity.bsky.social

Annndddd it’s out! Here’s what came out of combining my virology background with the @brozlab.bsky.social’s cell death focus : a novel role for the cell death protein ninj1 during hsv1 infection. In brief, Ninj1 on mouse macrophages results in lower infection rates and higher cytokine secretion.

The TLR7/9 adaptors TASL and TASL2 mediate IRF5-dependent antiviral responses and autoimmunity in mouse - Nature Communications TASL is an adaptor molecule bridging Toll-like receptor signalling and transcription activation by IRF5. Here the authors show that TASL deficiency impacts TLR7/9 responses, and that a TASL paralogue,...

Excited to share our latest paper out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social !

Great work led by postdoc Ales Drobek showing for the first time the critical role in vivo of the SLC15A4/TASL/IRF5 pathway that we discovered few years ago.
