Pyroptotic cells release oxylipins and metabolites that act as mediators of tissue repair! 🔥🔥🔥 Check out our recent work in @Nature! Thanks to all coauthors @maschalidi and the incredible @Ravi_Research @kodiravi labs! https://t.co/11oLpqqMSo

Huge congratulations to Turan Tufan for defining how macrophages use pause/release to rapidly (within min) modify their gene and protein expression during efferocytosis to ingest successive corpses! Thanks to many coauthors who helped us along!

Last year, while applying to ophthalmology, I took an elective in endocrinology. My attending said, "The eye is not an endocrine organ." I replied, "As far as we know." WELL. Now we have evidence of endocrine (OK, paracrine) signaling with endogenous insulin in the retina! 🤯

Congratulations to J. Iker Etchegaray (and many co-authors) for detailing an unexpected role for phagocytosis by the RPE in inducing a local insulin source in the eye, how it is distinct from systemic insulin, and its impact on retinal physiology.

Congratulations to @Mehrotra_Pa on two counts. First, her publication today in Nature Rev Drug Discovery ( https://t.co/pcnbPDcSnj) on "Drugging the efferocytosis process". Second, for securing an Asst Prof position to start her lab in IIT, New Delhi - so well deserved!
