Can a biologist fix a radio?β€”Or, what I learned while studying apoptosis As a freshly minted Assistant Professor, I feared that everything in my field would be discovered before I even had a chance to set up my laboratory. Indeed, the field of apoptosis, which I had recent...

Even though this essay is supposedly a classic, I only discovered it a few days ago. It’s a great (short) read, indeed!

High-throughput peptide-centric local stability assay extends protein-ligand identification to membrane proteins, tissues, and bacteria Systematic mapping of protein-ligand interactions is essential for understanding biological processes and drug mechanisms. Peptide-centric local stability assay (PELSA) is a powerful tool for detectin...

Want to know how the ligands interact with proteins beyond model cell lines, e.g., in tissues or bacteria? Interested in membrane targets? Check out our High-Throughput PELSA method which allows you do all these cool screenings for dozens of ligands within two hours! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Eosinophil innate immune memory after bacterial skin infection promotes allergic lung inflammation Staphylococcus aureus skin infection induces eosinophil innate immune memory to exacerbate allergen-induced airway inflammation.

I'm excited to share my first-author PhD paper, now out in Science Immunology! @science.org
We show that S.aureus skin infection leaves a lasting imprint on bone marrow eosinophils, fueling allergic responses in the lungs.

Lactate homeostasis is maintained through regulation of glycolysis and lipolysis Lactate elevations are a hallmark of human disease, but the mechanisms regulating lactate levels remain poorly understood. Here, Lee etΒ al. elucidate the mechanisms of lactate homeostasis. These invol...
