We are pleased to announce #EUROSERPIN2025, to be held in Brescia, Italy on May 28-30th 2025! This meeting will bring together international researchers to share their work on all aspects of serpin-related topics. Visit euroserpin.eu to register and submit an abstract.
The EUROSERPIN2025 meeting, held at the Cloister of San Faustino, University of Brescia, has just ended. Thanks to all participants, speakers, poster presenters and to the University of Brescia. We can't wait for the next EUROSERPIN meeting!

Excited to report our studies that identified a new serine protease secreted by the gut microbe Bacteroides fragilis that regulates pain and inflammation through PAR2 activation. #ChemBio. Check it out!https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.15.633241v1
Identification of a secreted protease from Bacteroides fragilis that induces intestinal pain and inflammation by cleavage of PAR2
Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is a central regulator of intestinal barrier function, inflammation and pain. Upregulated intestinal proteolysis and PAR2-signaling are implicated in inflammatory ...

A bit of microscopy to get me off the mark! Single particle tracking of fluorescent, 20nm spherical protein assemblies (GEMs) as they dance through the ER-lumen of a COS7 cell. One of the tools we used to assess ER-biophysics in α1-antitrypsin deficiency science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abm2094

Unlike other serpins, human serpin B9 shows significant structural deviations around helix D, with a larger surface cavity, which could serve as a promising target for small-molecule inhibitors #Serpins #XRayCrystallography #Crystallization t.co/ilB7Aa3Krg
