• Caspase-8 inhibition improves the outcome of bacterial infections in mice by promoting neutrophil activation 

      Lentini, Germana; Famà, Agata; De Gaetano, Giuseppe Valerio; Coppolino, Francesco; Mahjoub, Ahlem Khachroub; Ryan, Liv; Lien, Egil; Espevik, Terje; Beninati, Concetta; Teti, Giuseppe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      During differentiation, neutrophils undergo a spontaneous pro-inflammatory program that is hypothesized here to be under caspase-8 control. In mice, intraperitoneal administration of the caspase-8 inhibitor z-IETD-fmk is ...
    • The TLR4 adaptor TRAM controls the phagocytosis of Gram-negative bacteria by interacting with the Rab11-family interacting protein 2
