IRF2 regulates both GSDMD expression and NK cells antibacterial functions. Check the latest paper from the lab @ciri-lyon.bsky.social published in @emboreports.org. IRF2 as a key immune regulator against our favorite bug, #Francisella tularensis! #inflammasome link.springer.com/article/10.1...
📢 Recruitment of an Associate Professor (Maître de conférences) in Bacteriology at CIRI and ENS de Lyon. Research at @ciri-lyon.bsky.social @francoisrousset.bsky.social @labxc.bsky.social Anti-phage Immunity, Horizontal gene/ MGE transfer 📚 Teaching at ENS de Lyon within the Department of Biology.
Here is the latest paper of the lab @ciri-lyon.bsky.social on the pyrin #inflammasome, the MEFV gene variants and the associated autoinflammatory diseases, Familial Mediteranean fever (FMF) and PAAND.
Rockefeller University PressIn @jem.org, Bronnec, @cinflammasome.bsky.social et al. developed SpeckSeq to evaluate the pathogenicity of 228 MEFV variants. SpeckSeq leads to a revised classification of MEFV variants, new diagnoses, & novel insights on pyrin structure–function relationship. rupress.org/jem/article/...
