To reroute a cytokine’s signaling, Abhiraman et al. generated soluble adaptors comprising units that bind to two sites on a cytokine linked to units that bind to and compel dimerization/activation [...] bit.ly/4l0nd2G @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social @gitaabhiraman.bsky.social

Excited to share this work from the Garcia Lab out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social! We engineer "cytokine adaptors", molecular immune switches that simultaneously block a target cytokine while inducing local activation of alternative cytokine receptors. rdcu.be/ec7GS
Redirecting immune signaling with cytokine adaptors
Nature Communications - Cytokines are immune signaling molecules that are frequently dysregulated in disease. Here, the authors create engineered cytokine ‘adaptors,’ molecular switches...
