PostDoc in Eicke Latz lab @iii Bonn (previously - PhD @brozlab.bsky.social) working on inflammasomes and cell death and their role in inflammation and tissue repair. Passionate about all things #microscopy, #optogenetics and #cycling 🔬🚴🏼♀️.
Even rare #CellDeath events matter: a new study from Lamkanfi lab shows that small fraction of pyroptotic monocytes accounts for the most of IL-1β production following LPS stimulation, challenging the previously proposed models of IL-1β secretion from the living cells:
Single-cell analysis reveals cell death as driver of NLRP3-mediated secretion of IL-1β in human monocytes - Nature Immunology
Lamkanfi, Shirasaki, Izawa and colleagues show that IL-1β release in human monocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide or carrying NLRP3 activatory mutations is mostly restricted to cells undergoing ...

Sounds like a genuinely horrible idea: why the first gets "lesser" score than the last, how does it account for the author positioning differences across disciplines, how is it going to account for the co-first/co-last authorships and why to devalue collaborative research
Google Scholar has introduced a 'Sh-index' metric that scores papers higher if you are first or last author. Apart from the fact metrics are generally bad, this one explicitly punishes PIs who often collaborate, publishing with 2 or 3 equal PIs at the end of the list.
