For 25 years, the Toll-like Receptor pathway was considered a series of distinct protein complexes that drive inflammation. Today, we report that the entire pathway, from receptor to transcription factor, is executed from within one complex—the myddosome. nature.com/articles/s4158…

By tagging endogenous MyD88, this elegant study from Jonathan Kagan lab elucidates real time interactions & nuances of TLR signaling. Just beautiful! Excellent thread by first author Daniel Fisch 👇🏽 Congratulations to the team!
