Thrilled to have this story out online Immunity!! Together with Joseph Sun Lab, we highlight how dietary fasting improves NK cell anti-tumor immunity and examine the tissue-specific processes that drive these improved responses 🧵cell.com/immunity/fullt…

I am sorry to report that Dr (John) Robin Warren (Nobel Prize in Medicine 2005) died yesterday evening (July 23 rd).  Robin was cared for at Brightwater in Perth Western Australia. He had become very frail in recent years and passed away peacefully in the company of his family.

Check out our new paper from the Kate Lawlor lab showing distinct roles for #necroptosis effectors RIPK3 (+ Caspase-8) that drives inflammation, and MLKL which regulates lipid handling in obesity-induced #MAFLD. LifeScienceAlliance CiiiD Hudson Hudson Institute of Medical Research life-science-alliance.org/content/8/1/e2…

In this study, Tye et al show how RIPK3-caspase-8 signaling induces inflammation to drive MAFLD, while MLKL noncanonically regulates lipid accumulation and metabolism to drive obesity and MAFLD.

Very proud & excited to be socialising our preprint uncovering new mechanisms of epithelial cell death in IBD! Massive 4-year collab across WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) & @RMH. Big thanks to the patients involved in this study and support from @NHMRC & Kenneth Rainin Foundation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This study [link] shows how necroptotic effector MLKL can induce obesity and perturb lipid metabolism to drive MAFLD progression, independent of RIPK3 that regulates inflammatory events.Kate Lawlor CiiiD Hudson Hudson Institute of Medical Research WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) hubs.la/Q02Y1rNf0
