Blumenthal Lab

Excited to share our latest paper: TLR4 endocytosis and endosomal TLR4 signaling are distinct and independent outcomes of TLR4 activation in @emboreports embopress.org/doi/full/10.10… #FrazerInstitute @UQMedicine @TRI_info

Call for PhD applications at CSIR-IGIB, New Delhi. Keen to work on host-pathogen interactions? Lipid droplets? Tuberculosis? Do apply, my lab provides an opportunity for research in these areas!

Sharing our recent study showing that membrane vesicles produced by E. coli contain the autotransporter protein Antigen 43 and contribute to bacterial cell aggregation and biofilm formation. A fantastic collaboration with @BegonaHeras @Lauren_Zav and team. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

No added sugar: CCDC134 stabilizes ER chaperone Gp96 for TLR biogenesis. Leslie Domínguez Cadena and Antje Blumenthal @Blumenthal_Lab discuss new study from @RebsamenLab (hubs.la/Q035qb5h0) in Insights: hubs.la/Q035qd7p0 @UQMedicine @TRI_info @UQ_news #FrazerInstUQ

Check out the Insights piece from A Blumenthal & L Dominguez Cadena @Blumenthal_Lab on our discovery of CCDC134’s role in Gp96 stability and TLR biogenesis. Many thanks to the authors for discussing our work broadly, integrating recent studies by Rohatgi and Locher/Kaelin labs.

The countdown's on to World TB Day. It's the world's deadliest infectious disease. TRI-based Prof Antje Blumenthal from @UQ_News #FrazerInstUQ uses immunology/microbiology in research to fight TB. She'll will present at a TB Symposium at TRI on March 24. bit.ly/3DOSvZE

Insights: from Cadena & @Blumenthal_Lab @UQMedicine: @RebsamenLab (hubs.la/Q035qctm0) show that CCDC134 located in the ER is required for TLR biogenesis by controlling the N-glycosylation, folding, and stabilization of the ER chaperone Gp96. hubs.la/Q035pXY50

Congratulations, TRI-based @hpsoyer from @UQ_News #FrazerInstUQ, a winner in the @eurekaprizes for 2024. He won for leading work to improve early detection and build a national targeted melanoma screening program. bit.ly/4cW7RqG

Congratulations @DrmartinaS and team. #uowresearch #MolHorizons

What’s a key next step on the road to our ultimate mission of zero deaths from #melanoma, according to the team running Australia’s largest melanoma-imaging cohort study? A workshop to prepare for the massive volumes of data that will help create the evidence for a national targeted melanoma-screening program. MIA, alongside #ACEMID, hosted this workshop in Sydney yesterday.
