Little News and Views @GroupXuan and I wrote.
Still disappointed they didn't let us use the pun-tastic:
You CANT(os) have CHIP(s) with JAK(ets) or your plaques may (fibro)Blast apart - but blocking IL-1b may help.

VSMCs are efficient activators of IL-1β that do not use canonical inflammasomes or caspases. Hence, this alternative pathway could be targeted for long-term treatment of CVDs, as it is not central to everyday host defence

PoV: your main PhD paper is finally published but the Uni's comms office decides that your cell biology and immunology research is best represented by a *big ugly foot* 👣
Still super proud, though. Great team effort @GroupXuancam.ac.uk/research/news/canc…
This cover image for our research article jci.org/articles/view/162129 shows inflammatory macrophages with many NLRP3 signals (green) around the microtubule-organizing centre (microtubules in red). Taken by Yang Li & @chenxiao027 using Zeiss LSM980 with airyscan 2 @zeiss_micro
We show targeting microtubules via pharmacological drugs to inhibit PLK1 could provide a treatment strategy for inflammatory diseases characterized by excessive NLRP3 activation. cam.ac.uk/research/news/canc…

CAPture, a centrosome affinity purification method for mammalian cells, is finally out🥳 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
We found that a short peptide of CCDC61/VFL3 can be used to isolate centrosomes / basal bodies cell lysates
Vesicular transport in a bundle of neurons. Made this movie some years ago. Incredible how much material is constantly being moved around in our cells over long distances by tiny (nanometer scale) motor proteins #microscopy, #science, #cells_are_amazing
