Long-chain fatty acids can be carbon sources for pathogens but are also potent antimicrobials. In our latest work, we explored the question of how Mycobacterium tuberculosis avoids getting killed by a preferred carbon source.

Halmos et al show that the deficiency of cholesterol transporters #Abca1 & #Abcg1 in #SMCs enhances #vasoconstriction & urinary #bladder distension but does not affect lesion area in #atherosclerosis. Learn more at ahajrnls.org/3FaMG9b

How #autophagy influences the regulation of MHC-I class receptors and regulates #immune evasion of #cancer?
A new role for an autophagy receptor IRGQ in this process with a clinical relevance for the development of liver carcinoma in humans and mice 😊😀

#GradStudent scholarships and #Postdoc fellowships got a raise today for the first time in 21 years🙌
Immensely grateful to all those who have been pushing for this. It truly takes a village!
Still processing and will have more thoughts soon! But overall this👇 is great news!
