This work was spearheaded by @florianngohr.bsky.social at @unibonn.bsky.social. He is an outstanding immunologist/virologist currently looking for #postdoc opportunities!
Late #WeekendRead: We describe a novel reporter to visualize endogenous #inflammasome assembly. Suitable for cell lines, primary cells, and tissues as well as quantification by #microscopy and #flowcytometry. Happy to share. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Let's not forget that apart from science advocacy the Rauch lab also does kick-ass science!
Together with the @psmitchej.bsky.social and Tait Wojno labs, we show that #tuftcells can induce specific protective signaling after recognition of intracellular bacterial infection via the #inflammasome!
First authors Madeline Churchill and Ankit Pandeya @nkeet50.bsky.social from @rauchlab.bsky.social show that tuft cells, known for their role in anti-parasite defenses, can also contribute to anti-bacterial responses in the small intestine. rupress.org/jem/article/...
