SARM - an enzymatic TIR protein. Perhaps the most ancient immune regulator in the Tree of Life and the origins of innate immunity itself. But, is it an immune sensor in animals?

Our August issue is out! hubs.la/Q02JTSw30. The cover shows HSV-1 infection inhibiting ASC speck formation in an A549 cell line. ASC-GFP is in green, ICP0 from HSV-1 is in red, & cell nuclei are in blue. From @JustKOS1 @VirulentMind et al. hubs.la/Q02JTy5C0
Congratulations to Orzalli Lab MD/PhD student Jenny Powers on her outstanding F30 score! If paylines stay the same in FY25 (fingers crossed) her grant will likely be funded! @UMassChanPII
The Orzalli lab’s first paper is out today @JExpMed! See the excellent tutorial from first author @JustKOS1 below.

On my way to #IHW2023...but likely going to get stuck in SLC tonight after a 3 hr delay on the tarmac in BOS. Hopefully won't miss too much of the Satellite sessions tomorrow.

Congratulations to Orzalli lab graduate students Jenny and Jafira for passing their Qualifying Exams! Excited to see where their projects take them over the next couple of years.
Love this #notthecover from @RPWLab MD/PhD student @tse_elegans! The study it depicts is pretty fabulous as well.
#NottheCover, but still so awesome. Co-first author and graphic artist @tse_elegans created a image highlighting our @ImmunityCP paper (cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S…) (1/3)

Out in @ImmunityCP today! My preview of a recent study from Zhu and colleagues (cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S…) identifying Nur77 as a cytosolic sensor of LPS and mitochondrial DNA involved in NLRP3 activation.
