Was great collaborating with @brozlab.bsky.social @jakubegan.bsky.social on this fantastic project!
We're thrilled to share the lab's latest publication demonstrating how caspase-4 and the non canonical inflammasome recognize cytosolic LPS by preferentially binding to the convex portions of membranes - both bacterial and micelles @cp-immunity.bsky.social

Caspase-4 binds to LPS membranes with positive curvature for non-canonical inflammasome activation
The non-canonical inflammasome, comprising caspase-4 in humans, initiates pyroptosis upon sensing cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negativ…

This one was quite the journey! The paper describing the #ChlamyDataset is finally out and on the cover of Mol Cell!

This beautiful rendering made by co-author @jessheebner.bsky.social and Holly Peterson shows an instance of mitochondrial fission found in the dataset 😍

[Maybe long thread ahead]
