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.

What Happens When Some Cells Are More Dad Than Mom (and Vice Versa)?
A new study shows that some of our cells favor genes of one parent or the other and can explain a longstanding mystery of why some people with disease-causing genes experience no symptoms.

#WeekendRead! #EveryCellisAnImmuneCell! Park, Ahn & Barber show @sciimmunology.bsky.social that DNA-damaged cells activate cGAS-STING secreting factors & induce endosomal vesicles that activate in antigen-presenting cells cGAS-STING inducing immune activation! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Antigen-presenting cell activation requires intrinsic and extrinsic STING signaling after the phagocytosis of DNA-damaged cells
Both cytosolic DNA species and innate immune STING signaling are required for stressed cells to activate phagocytes.

So cytokines orchestrate cellular rewiring to regulate translational processes like epigenetic markers regulate transcription. Biology is so intricate!

P-stalk ribosomes act as master regulators of cytokine-mediated processes
Cytokines remodel the ribosome to incorporate the P-stalk, therefore altering the translation of mRNAs involved in cytokine responses.
