@EllenFoxmanJan 27
Happy to share our new paper @PLOSBiology on crosstalk between interferons and tissue repair. IFNs are critical for antiviral defense but excessive production is linked to delayed recovery. We found that at high concentrations, IFNs co-opt the downstream portion of the Hippo developmental signaling pathway to curtail epithelial repair and regeneration. Huge congrats to first author @krupa_subs and co-authors @YaleMed @Yale_LabMed @YaleIBIO journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…
