Annndddd it’s out! Here’s what came out of combining my virology background with the @brozlab.bsky.social’s cell death focus : a novel role for the cell death protein ninj1 during hsv1 infection. In brief, Ninj1 on mouse macrophages results in lower infection rates and higher cytokine secretion.

Excited to share our latest work in collaboration with the @edreznik.bsky.social lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social, where we describe functionally dominant mitochondrial DNA mutations in patient tumors. So, what is functional dominance in mitochondrial genetics, I hear you ask?

Thrilled to start 2025 with our latest findings! Yersinia invades macrophage cytosol to activate caspase-11 when caspase-8 or YopJ are inactive. www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Plasticity of cell death pathways ensures GSDMD activation during Yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection
Injection of YopJ by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis triggers RIPK1-dependent caspase-8 and GSDMD activation in murine macrophages; however, how macrophages defend against Yersinia when caspase-8 or YopJ ...
