Most inflammasome mutations in humans are gain of function, which complicates the question of why we have these molecular machines. @sunnyshinlab.bsky.social et al provide strong evidence that we need inflammasomes to prevent Salmonella infection. A must read! elifesciences.org/articles/90107
Inflammasomes primarily restrict cytosolic Salmonella replication within human macrophages
Analysis of inflammasome responses in human macrophages reveals that inflammatory caspases and pyroptotic factors control Salmonella replication primarily within the cytosol and also within vacuoles.

ICYMI (especially if you work in Democratic politics):
Cutting cancer research is one of the things Americans are most worried about.
And one of the things they’ve heard the least about. According to polls from @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social:

Nailed it….I hope she spiked the ball
Must watch speech by neuroscientist Kailyn Price at a HHS rally protesting funding cuts to science.
"Cutting indirect costs is like telling a football team to work with only the players.
No lights for the field, no physical therapists for the players, no water for the showers."

In a sea of hand-ringers, tantrums, middle-grounders and a tsunami of thread based explanations of indirect costs, @jkagan1.bsky.social is slaying….tip of the hat sir
History is the only true teacher.
History tells us that all knowledge in medical textbooks, all medical procedures, all genetic tests to predict disease, all hopes for a cure for cancer, derive from one source.
University/Non-profit research.

That truth needs to be the narrative. Every person that starts with “certainly there is room to improve” loses science aura….

Looks like a great opportunity to learn from outstanding researchers! They don’t accept full professors, but if I were still an undergraduate, I’d take a real serious look at this!
