Super excited to see our work shared with the scientific community! We know #Argonaute proteins can be extracellular, but can they be transferred to recipient cells and can they function? Happy reading!
A non-vesicular Argonaute protein is transmitted from nematode to mouse and is important for parasite survival https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.01.646544v1

Very excited to share this collaborative work led by Kyriaki Neophytou. An extracellular Argonaute from a nematode parasite is transmitted to host cells and the non-vesicular form is functionally important (and now a vaccine candidate). An Argonaute vaccine... who would have thought.

I'm very pleased to have two lab positions open this week, to join our team looking at immune regulation in infection and co-infection. We're especially interested in tissue-based immunity, cytokine regulation and immune metabolism. Join us! Postdoc (3y) and research technician (12mo) posts open.
