Excited to share our latest paper out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social !

Great work led by postdoc Ales Drobek showing for the first time the critical role in vivo of the SLC15A4/TASL/IRF5 pathway that we discovered few years ago.

The TLR7/9 adaptors TASL and TASL2 mediate IRF5-dependent antiviral responses and autoimmunity in mouse - Nature Communications
TASL is an adaptor molecule bridging Toll-like receptor signalling and transcription activation by IRF5. Here the authors show that TASL deficiency impacts TLR7/9 responses, and that a TASL paralogue,...
