After a hard year, I’m glad to see this finally over the line. A real team effort from @YiboJin @scott_d_gardner @TomasVoisin and others from @LabMoraga. As always, amazing data collection support @eBIC_Diamond #cryoem

Disease-associated variant in IL6ST gene encoding for gp130 led to increased flexibility including motion within the cytokine-binding core (IL-6 and IL-11) and increased distance between extracellular domains https://t.co/nPepamjV5m

Excited to share our newest full collaboration with @BubeckLab. We provide structural insights that help explain how mutations in gp130 that do not disrupt cytokine binding cause signaling defects and immunodeficiencies in humans. https://t.co/EF0OrJcx76,

Ever wonder why ancestral cytokine receptors, like Gp130, bind multiple JAKs, and whether the identity of the GP130-JAK complex instructs specific responses? Check our new work, in a full collaboration with the @PiehlerLab, for some answers https://t.co/SvuaVihj0z

Today's #shoutout to #womeninSTEM goes to SILVIA GAGGERO for her @SciImmunology paper w/ @at_Mitralab showing IL-2 is inactivated by the acidic pH environment of #tumors enabling engineering of a pH-selective mutein.

An engineered pH-selective IL-2 mutein augments cancer immunity in the acidic tumor microenvironment with limited systemic toxicity.
