Patterns of pathogenesis in innate immunity: insights from C. elegans - Nature Reviews Immunology In this Review, Tse-Kang, Wani and Pukkila-Worley discuss how nematodes, such as Caenorhabditis elegans, rely on ‘patterns of pathogenesis’ as opposed to the sensing of specific ligands by pattern-rec...

In my first bsky post, I am excited to share our recent review out in @natrevimmunol.bsky.social. We discuss mechanisms that identify patterns of pathogenesis -- specific ligands or symptoms in the host that indicate active infection with an infectious microorganism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am ready for this offer.

Ok. I am confused again/still. How does bonus/position tied to impact factor drive submissions to these “grey” journals? Are their IF higher than I assume?

Interesting. How common is for national rankings or even guidance on publications or publishers? This whole concept is new/foreign to me. I don’t think the NIH provides any like guidance to reviewers or applicants. But I dunno

Various antimicrobial peptides. Not sure what’s been demonstrated versus predicted. Cecropin. Defensin. LL37

Maybe…but you can ride outdoors 12 months

You are flexing again. I rode my bike in my basement this morning

Clearly A. But how do we set up a poll over here??

Ok, mostly science-y stuff here. But I can’t resist. GO BEARS. Give ‘em the axe. @calfootball.bsky.social way to get it done.

FWIW: Open Access in #TrendsinImmunology, so easily available for your reading pleasure.

With lab members Ravi Bharadwaj and Swati Jaiswal, put together this review highlighting the connectivity between transports of cyclic dinucleotides and muropeptide as well as attempted to parse the confusing literature on SLC function in the NOD1/NOD2 pathways: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

#1 take home so far: stick to pasteurized milk products. H5N1 is one jump away from a (human) disaster.

First post on BluSky. A bit late to the party but finally made the jump. Today I am enjoying the annual MassCPR Symposium organized by Jeremy Luban and team, @UMass Chan. Keynotes from Y Kawaoka and E Harris. And fabulous talks from local trainees
