Three of my favorite papers published this week:
1. A mechanism for bacteria to create *new* repetitive toxic genes to kill themselves in response to infection (!!)
How is caspase-11 noncanonical inflammasome assembly mediated by LPS? Read our new paper in @eLife to find out! Congratulations to my co-first authors Daniel Akuma and @KAWodzanowski, my PI @BrodskyIgor, @SunnyShinLab, @taabaman and everyone who contributed to this work!
B. subtilis is the microbe of the year. I was today years old when I learned that B.subtilis is added to the flush water of toilets in German rest areas. Once the germinate, they oust pathogens. Very cool! #vaam2023
Huge congrats to co-1st authors DanielSorobetea and @RinaDoesScience@CAMBUpenn on this lovely story out today @NatureMicrobiol in which we uncovered intestinal pyogranulomas forming acutely during Yersinia pseudotb infection! https://t.co/x3D6pswPxy
@thomas_alyse local translation in neurons! I still wonder if this is only for non-membrane protein or also for membrane-bound proteins. Where are local ribosomes located?! #lmk#sciencetwitter
