"An innate immune pathway connecting the inflammasome and the ribosome in skin immunity" LKC School of Medicine, NTU |
Abstract
The human immune response relies on timely and accurate detection of pathogens, environmental insults as well as disruptions of essential cellular processes. In this seminar, I will describe a new innate immune pathway that senses perturbations of the ribosome elongation cycle. This pathway plays an unexpected role in the skin response against UV irradiation and certain infections.
