If you’re interested in exploring the relationship between chromatin organization and epigenetic memory using chromatin tracing microscopy, my group is recruiting a talented PhD student 🥳

Epigenetic silencing of interleukin-10 by host-derived oxidized phospholipids supports a lethal inflammatory response to infections Phagocytes initiate immunity to invading microorganisms by detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns via pattern recognition receptors. Pathoge…

Late to the party, but: Host-oxidized phospholipids (oxPLs) form during infection & epigenetically silence IL-10 via AKT→EZH2→H3K27me3, driving lethal inflammation. Blocking oxPLs boosts IL-10 + survival. Kudos, @lozanzi.bsky.social; out in @cp-immunity.bsky.social:

Evergreen faculty text interaction 😆
