#JoinUs! Today 4pm, Modell Center, I’ll be giving the @harvardmed.bsky.social @harvard.edu #Immunology seminar, tons of unpublished data, all about how we sense & respond to microbial & host-derived inflammatory signals during infections & sterile inflammatory diseases!

#NotOnlyParasites! 2 Cell papers by @edchuong.bsky.social lab & Amigorena lab demonstrate that transposable elements #TEs can exonize giving rise to functional (often shorter) proteins with distinct functions: eg a decoy short IFNAR2 that inhibits #interferon signaling! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Transposable element exonization generates a reservoir of evolving and functional protein isoforms
Transposable element exonization by unannotated splicing events produces stable protein isoforms with acquired functions that are subject to evolutionary selection.
