In this study, we tested the therapeutic potential of VHHASC and a newly generated VHH against murine ASC (VHHmASC) to target ASC specks in vitro and in vivo. We show that pre-incubation of extracellular ASC specks with VHHASC abrogated their inflammatory functions in vitro. Recombinant VHHASC rapidly disassembled pre-formed ASC specks and thus inhibited their ability to seed the nucleation of soluble ASC. Notably, VHHASC required prior cytosolic access to prevent inflammasome activation within cells, but it was effective against extracellular ASC specks released following caspase-1-dependent loss of membrane integrity, an...

Empowering Trainees to be Leaders and Change Agents
We described several wellness initiatives that were done at individual campuses. The University of Illinois where I attend, we had a wellness committee that we formed led by students. We were able to partner with local companies to bring in more healthy food options. We were able to set up a counseling center dedicated specifically towards medical trainees.
Joe Geraghty:
And so that’s at the institutional level, but then in our local community, we had several letters from places like the University of Chicago. We had a medical student who wrote about how they were developing kind of like easy to digest infograp...
