Our new paper by postdoc Man Wu @manwu381774343 "The centrosomal hub unifies regulatory factors of NLRP3 inflammasome activation" provides a simple, unified insight on this complicated beast of NLRP3 inflammasome! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26…

Ever wondered why only inflammasomes that use ASC, but not those that do not use ASC, can mature IL-1β? ASC helps to recruit pro-IL-1β to ASC for caspase-1 processing! See: "Inflammasome adaptor protein ASC is a mechanistic checkpoint in IL-1β maturation" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

Excited to share our paper on the NLRP3 inflammasome condensate at the MTOC by "precise!" cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), in collaboration with Jue (phyllis) Wang@Phyllis23382012in the labs of Grant Jensen (BYU) and Pete Dahlberg (Stanford)! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Excited to share an amazing video on the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway generated by talented Ann from the Iwasa lab @janetiwasa @Ann_HuiLiu. It shows the real cryo-EM structures of the pathway from #NLRP3, #ASC, #caspase-1, #GSDMD, #IL-1b, to #NINJ1. #cryoem @LeXiao17 Enjoy

Have you ever wondered whether pyroptotic corpses have functions beyond the grave? We made the surprising discovery that pyroptotic corpses are flagged by #filopodia to alert #DendriticCells they need autopsy. A short Tweetorial (1/13)👇with movies!

I voted by mail today! Everyone should exercise their duty - there is no excuse that is big enough to justify not to vote.

What’s better than going to a local symposium with only talks by students and postdocs? 9th SoCal cryo-EM symposium yesterday:
dornsife.usc.edu/bridge-inst… amongst @CorneliusGati, Juli Feigon @FeigonLab, Hong Zhou, Dillon Cogan and Angie Walker. So fun to interact with trainees!
