New-found immune cells called ‘ruptoblasts’ explode when triggered, ejecting toxic chemicals capable of delivering death to surrounding cells in just minutes. The cells’ discoverers say that this process, which they call ruptosis, seems to be a new form of cell death. go.nature.com/4voGDD0

Bang! Exploding immune cells splatter potent toxins everywhere

Detonation of newly discovered ‘ruptoblasts’, found in flatworms, releases compounds that kill nearby cells in minutes.

Published! 🎉Our collaborative journey exploring Smolstatin, a cysteine protease inhibitor of the fish parasite, is now out in Current Research in Microbial Sciences! Congrats to all co-authors sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Smolstatin1, a unique cystatin-like stefin of Sphaerospora molnari, is essential for parasite development

Stefins, members of the cystatin superfamily, regulate cysteine proteases, yet their roles in early-branching metazoans remain poorly defined. Here, w…

Very happy to share this study from our group and colleagues now out in Science! We found that in zebrafish, before the immune system is mature, gut epithelial cells perform immune functions by producing the cytokine IL-22 to shape the microbiota to promote early life gut function #Zebrafish #Gut

IL-22 from enteroendocrine cells promotes early-life gut motility in zebrafish through the microbiota

The gut microbiota, immune system, and enteric nervous system interact to regulate adult gut physiology. However, the mechanisms establishing gut physiology during development remain unknown. We repor...

Diverging fish biodiversity trends in cold and warm rivers and streams - Nature

In the past three decades, fish abundance, richness and uniqueness have diverged across cold and warm streams, and the effects on native fish communities of stream warming and increases in introduced fishes have magnified each other.

I thought it might be helpful to do a more general immunology explainer which I can then build on for example when I discuss specific papers or political actions. Do let me know if its useful and other topics if so. This first one is a general one about how we tackle infections... 🧪 #ImmunoSky
