Malvina Pizzuto

Congratulations 🎉👏🏽 Glad to see this out and read the whole story!

Congratulations to Jakub Began, Petr @brozlab.bsky.social and al.! A nice reminder that lipid acyl chains are not just structural details defining binding interactions. They tune membrane curvature and flexibility, adding an additional layer of regulation to protein activity and cellular signalling

Ha finalizado el segundo día de Café Con Ciencia en el IPBLN, nos han visitado los institutos: IES Veleta, Instituto Diego de Siloé, IES Virgen de la Caridad, IES Emilio Muñoz e IES Virgen de las Nieves.

¡Esperamos haber despertado en vosotros nuevas vocaciones científicas!

Enteropathogenic bacteria evade ROCK-driven epithelial cell extrusion - Nature The bacterial ubiquitin ligase NleL evades host defence mechanisms both by inhibiting pyroptosis and by preventing infected intestinal epithelial cells from being extruded into the lumen and expelled ...

Check out our new publication, a collaboration with Giovanni Luchetti and Vishva Dixit @ Genentech.
We show that the E.coli effector NleL inhibits intestinal epithelial cell extrusion after #inflammasome activation via degrading the kinases ROCK1 and 2!!

Thank you! I had a great time

Thank you for having me !!!

Very cool talk today at #CABDseminars by Malvina Pizzuto. Dr. Pizzuto explained the work assessing cardiolipin control over inflammatory pathways and immune dysfunctions. Malvina was invited by Peter Askjaer. Thanks for coming @malvinapiz.bsky.social

✅Ha venido la doctora Malvina Pizzuto, a hablarnos de "Evaluación del control de la cardiolipina sobre las vías inflamatorias en situaciones de enfermedad como el shock séptico". 🦠

Still wrapping my head around the fact that it’s finally out!! 🎉 From hypothesis in 2017 to data in 2020, it took 5 more years to fully prove the story. Long road for a lipid inhibitor, but worth it. Wonder how long a Nature paper takes… maybe I’ll find out soon! 😉 #ResearchLife

🚨It’s out @embojournal.org 🚨
Cardiolipin inhibits Caspase-4/11!
Huge thanks to my brilliant supervisors Kate & Pablo, to @s-burgener.bsky.social & Mercedes and all the @inflammasomelab.bsky.social, it was a joy working and laughing with you, and to @brozlab.bsky.social & Si Ming lab.

Pyroptotic cell corpses are crowned with F-actin-rich filopodia that engage CLEC9A signaling in incoming dendritic cells - Nature Immunology Pyroptotic cell death results in inflammation. Here the authors find that F-actin-rich structures formed during macrophage pyroptosis persist after cell death to activate dendritic cells.

#NoTimeToDie! @inflammasomelab, Holley, Monteleone &co show @natimmunol.bsky.social that cells that die by #pyroptosis, or #necroptosis, are crowned with F-actin filopodia that makes them visible by dendritic cells via CLEC9A to initiate adaptive immunity! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Imagine cells bursting into tiny fireworks to alert the immune system and spark a powerful defense.

Macrophage ACE2 is necessary for SARS-CoV-2 replication and subsequent cytokine responses that restrict continued virion release ACE2 in macrophages promotes infection that enables an intrinsic antiviral response to SARS-CoV-2.

How do macrophages sense SARS-CoV-2 infection to drive inflammation (protective or disease causing) in COVID-19? Our 2023 paper in Science Signalling helps explain 🧵

Grateful to be part of the amazing team behind our student and postdoc associations @SIMBAatUQ @EMCRA_IMB @IMBatUQ. We've worked hard to support our community. I'm also honored to receive recognition for my contribution. Still so much to do, best of luck to next year’s committees

Have you ever wondered whether pyroptotic corpses have functions beyond the grave? We made the surprising discovery that pyroptotic corpses are flagged by #filopodia to alert #DendriticCells they need autopsy. A short Bluetorial (1/13)👇with movies!

Hi all! My name is Cornelius, and I'm an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics @pennmedicine.bsky.social @upenn.bsky.social. My lab is interested in host-pathogen interactions with a focus on how the host responds to infections. I'm passionate about mentoring, too!

Hi all, my name is Malvina. I am a senior postdoctoral researcher trying my best to start my lab and study the regulation of the immune system by cardiolipin and mitochondria. I am passionate about #inflammasome #caspases and #mitochondria, and I advocate #equity #diversity and #inclusion in science

Hi Natalia, can you add me as well, please?
