A large dataset we hope is helpful for patients who may have CAPS, an #autoinflammatory condition associated with genetic variants in NLRP3. Lots of "variants of uncertain significance" now have a specific readout from our in vitro assay which can help with clinical diagnosis.

Have you ever wondered whether pyroptotic corpses have functions beyond the grave? We made the surprising discovery that pyroptotic corpses are flagged by #filopodia to alert #DendriticCells they need autopsy. A short Bluetorial (1/13)👇with movies!

Pyroptotic cell corpses are crowned with F-actin-rich filopodia that engage CLEC9A signaling in incoming dendritic cells
Nature Immunology - Pyroptotic cell death results in inflammation. Here the authors find that F-actin-rich structures formed during macrophage pyroptosis persist after cell death to activate...

Excited to share this paper from my post-doc at @niaidnews.bsky.social out now in Science Immunology! We show that recent or ongoing 🫁 infections or other pulmonary environmental exposures at the time of infection with SARSCoV2 can vastly influence early replication of the virus in mice.
The inflammatory microenvironment of the lung at the time of infection governs innate control of SARS-CoV-2 replication
Recent or ongoing respiratory inflammation in the lung regulates antiviral immune responses to SARS-CoV-2.
