Thank you to @atscommunity.bsky.social & @ats-aii.bsky.social for the opportunity to share our work on kidney-lung communication. It was a pleasure to present & engage in insightful discussions! If you’d like to learn more about our work, here is a link to the talk: youtu.be/wqbt4F6Ohrk?...
Excited to present our work at @asnkidney.bsky.social
#KidneyWk in Texas next week! I'll be presenting our poster on Thursday, & AkchurinLab will also present. If you're interested in learning more about the functions of #macrophages during #kidney-lung interorgan interaction, please stop by #CKD

Nature research paper: WSTF nuclear autophagy regulates chronic but not acute inflammation

https://go.nature.com/45XMoOB
WSTF nuclear autophagy regulates chronic but not acute inflammation - Nature
During chronic but not acute inflammation, chromatin remodelling is influenced by nuclear autophagy through WSTF interaction with ATG8 in the nucleus, leading to WSTF nuclear export and its subsequent degradation.

Those cheeky little mitochondria 🤣

Not only are they ancient bacteria living symbiotically in all our cells (weird!)

and are inherited maternally (yay feminism!)

but they also move from cell to cell, improving cell performance against stressors. 🤯

Cells are swapping their mitochondria. What does this mean for our health?
Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat cancer and other diseases.

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)

Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

#WeekendRead #NoTimeToDie! Matt, Better &co show @ Science Immunology that efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils (not epithelial cells) by alveolar macrophages reprograms their metabolism, boosting glutaminolysis & decreasing ROS, thus favoring repair but facilitating secondary bacterial infections
Cell type–specific efferocytosis determines functional plasticity of alveolar macrophages
MPO activates an immunometabolic rheostat to restrict the functional plasticity of macrophages in favor of proresolving properties.
