Move over STING, TRIF and MAVS. IRSp53 and GMIP join the club of pLxIS proteins that stimulate interferons. So pleased to share our new study, which used synthetic biology to reveal multiple mechanisms that lead to anti-viral immunity. With a surprising link to metabolism.

Check out our lab's recent #preprint by Hanna Schwaemmle and our collaborators UNIGE_en. We asked how do cells assemble functional SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes? The key is to make just the right amount of each subunit! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Trends in Immunology, thanks for the invitation to write the spotlight. Now, we are looking forward to the data from our investigator-initiated clinical trials using ARID1A as a biomarker (NCT04953104,NCT04957615). MD Anderson Cancer Center

Thank you to Trends in Immunology @PamSharmaMDPhD Sangeeta Goswami, MD,PhD for highlighting our work!

Thank you Trends in Immunology Eneda Toska Lab for this nice writeup of our work!

In our new paper out today nature.com/articles/s4158…, we started with a simple hypothesis - inspired by work on IL-4/IL-13 from Brian S. Kim - that an innate immune cell might control sensory neuronal detection of allergens via a secreted factor. (1/11)

Why do we itch? Ask your immune system, and Dr. Sokol and colleagues. They provide a simple and elegant answer to this timeless question. Kudos to the authors on this fascinating discovery. nature.com/articles/s4158… Caroline Sokol MDPhD Harvard Medical School
