Ever wondered why there is so little #microscopy of #GSDMD pores? Check out how Lisa Schiffelers used #Nanobodies to stabilize monomeric GSDMD in the plasma membrane, to dissect the steps of pore formation, and to develop some new ideas for therapy.

Late #WeekendRead: We describe a novel reporter to visualize endogenous #inflammasome assembly. Suitable for cell lines, primary cells, and tissues as well as quantification by #microscopy and #flowcytometry. Happy to share. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

How could we identify key genes involved in any biological process and cell type? Please read on about Nuclear In-Situ Sequencing (NIS-Seq)

and so it begins.....science needs to start getting serious about how how to deal with this type of attacks, sowing distrust.

It is out! #NanoPlex is the universal strategy for multiplexing any immunofluorescence using erasable #nanobodies from @_NanoTag_. We showcase easy multiplexed STED, STORM, and 21-plex Confocal #Microscopy. Published in @NatureComms here: rdcu.be/dWvzO

Epic effort from Flo & first author Lisa Schiffelers of @FISchmidtLab .
Antagonistic camelid #nanobodies are small enough to traverse early #GSDMD pores to inhibit further #pore #formation.
Monomers target the membrane, suggesting #monomer to #oligomer transition on #membrane.

In parellel work, @anja_kopp @Geyer_lab solved the structure of two of our #nanobodies bound to #GSDMD. nature.com/articles/s41467-0….
The Feng Shao lab also used #AAV to express one of our #GSDMD #nanobodies to prevent loss of the #BBB during sepsis.

As #nanobodies enter pyroptotic cells (left), Lisa also tested if recombinant #nanobodies prevent pyroptosis when added to the medium during #inflammasome activation (right). They do!

We think the antagonistic GSDMD #nanobodies enter cells when the first #GSDMD pores form. They prevent any further pore formation and thus -in combination with cellular repair mechanism- prevent cell death by pyroptosis. We are looking forward to test this concept in vivo ...

As cells no longer die by #pyroptosis, stabilized, endogenous #GSDMD in the plasma membrane can even stained with antibodies for cleaved GSDMD.

We had previously tried to use a cool tool from @inflammgenetics to visualize #GSDMD pores in living cells (mNeonGreen remains with the #GSDMD NT), but mostly found GSDMD in intracellular structures ...

Surprisingly, expression of antagonistic #GSDMD #nanobodies stabilized monomeric GSDMD NTD-mNeonGreen in the plasma membrane.

We raised #alpaca #nanobodies against #GSDMD and found that two cytosolically expressed nanobodies completely shut down pore formation, #pyroptosis, and cytokine release after #inflammasome activation ....
