Marisa Egan, PhD

Thrilled to share our latest collaborative study with @brodskyigorlab.bsky.social showing that TLR priming licenses murine NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasome activation by immunoevasive bacterial ligands! Congrats to postdocs James Grayczyk, Luying Liu, former grad student @marisaegan.bsky.social & co-authors!

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms modulate cyclopropane fatty acid synthase through small RNAs in Escherichia coli https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.02.12.579971v1 The small RNA (sRNA) RydC strongly activates cfa, which encodes the cyclopropane fatty acid synthase
