@kshkarina.bsky.social
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 🔬🚴🏼♀️.
We know that diet and lifestyle are strong modulators of inflammatory response, but the exact mechanisms are still elusive. Now the study below adds a piece to this puzzle:
Obesity rewires nucleotide metabolism in immune cells, making inflammatory responses via NLRP3 inflammasome much easier to trigger

We have an interesting observation (one data figure with several experiments) regarding one of the commonly used tools, which we believe might be important for the #CellDeath community. Which of cell death/immunology journals still publish article types such as "Correspondence", "Brief reports" etc?

Image screening is going to fail. We need audit trails for data provenance.
I tried an even harder example on Gemini Pro image generation and this is quite scary/amazing. I asked for a microscopy image of around 20 HeLa cells, GFP tagged 20% nuclear, 10% membrane, +1 nuclear staining, + overlap. Image below and prompt in the following post.

Resources such as Human Protein Atlas rely on antibodies to map protein expression or intracellular localisation, but bad or unvalidated antibodies can misinform and derail research projects by giving false or unreproducible results.
