Mapping Cytokine Signalling Networks using Engineered Surrogate Ligands
Cells use an intricate network of intracellular signalling molecules to translate environmental changes, sensed via surface receptors, into cellular responses. Despite their prominent role in regulating every aspect of life, we lack a comprehensive understanding of how signalling networks convey extracellular information into specific bioactivities and fate decisions. To rationally manipulate cell fate, which could fundamentally change the way that we treat human diseases, first we need a systematic understanding of how signalling is initiated and propagated inside the cell. I discovered that specificity of cytokine receptor signalling not only depends on cellular determinants such as…
