Resistance to antifungal medications is growing. Now, #UofG researchers have developed a faster way to identify the genetic vulnerabilities of Candida fungi, which could lead to brand new treatments. @uofgcbs.bsky.social @uofgresearch.bsky.social uoguel.ph/vze5i

Faster Gene Screening Method Targets Deadly Fungus

U of G researchers are using CRISPR interference to spot genetic vulnerabilities in Candida albicans, a leading cause of life-threatening infections.

Our latest work on mast cell-targeted immunity against antibiotic-resistant skin infections. Catestatin drives Mrgprb2 signaling to enhance antimicrobial peptides and improve MRSA-infected wound healing - Mucosal Immunology www.mucosalimmunology.org/article/S193...

The neuroendocrine peptide catestatin promotes clearance of cutaneous Staphylococcus aureus through mast cell Mrgpr activation

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of cutaneous infections, underscoring the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Catestatin (CST), a neuroendocrine antimicr...

A big study in JAMA last year in which 185 909 children were exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy. Conclusion: Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38592388/

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children's Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability - PubMed

Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis. This suggests that associations observed in other mo...

Fresh off the press! Our review on bitter taste receptors in bacterial immunity is now out, led by MSc students Hannah and Erin with support from USRA Austin. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Bitter Taste Receptors in Bacterial Infections and Innate Immunity

Background Bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs), originally identified for their role in gustation, are now recognized for their functions in extraoral tissues, particularly in innate immune responses. T.....

Beautiful work from the Dong lab, led by the outstanding MD-PhD student @rkothari.bsky.social, out in @cellpress.bsky.social! Important contribution on mast cell-expressed Mrgprs in stroke-associated brain inflammation. Congrats to the whole team! #TeamMrgpr 👏👏

Very excited to share our new work out today @cellpress.bsky.social. Here, we propose that meningeal mast cells regulate brain inflammation after stroke by coordinating immune infiltration from the skull bone marrow, through the meninges, and into the brain! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Our latest work on how nerves safeguard lung fibrosis. Congrats to Dr. Hiroki and collaborators. @cp-immunity.bsky.social @kavithascranton.bsky.social @hotchkissbrain.bsky.social @ucalgary.bsky.social @ucalgarymed.bsky.social @libininstitute.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

Nociceptor neurons suppress alveolar macrophage-induced Siglec-F+ neutrophil-mediated inflammation to protect against pulmonary fibrosis

Sensory innervation impacts several lung diseases, but whether it influences pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is unclear. Hiroki et al. report that depletion of TRPV1+ nociceptors leads to worsening of inflamm...

1 final call to add signatures or to contact your local MLAs and PM Mark Carney. We need better investments in 🇨🇦 research when underfunded for so long. Will the PM commit to a significant tri-council 💰 ⬆️!? Please read & sign if ur a 🇨🇦 researcher at any stage of your career that agrees we need >$ 👇👇
