Happy to share our work describing how different players of the immune system work closely together to degrade the complex cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria.

Outer membrane permeabilization by the membrane attack complex sensitizes Gram-negative bacteria to antimicrobial proteins in serum ... https://t.co/plEBL4UsXq #biorxiv_immuno

Vandaag waren Dani Heesterbeek en Suzan Rooijakkers te gast bij @denieuwsbv om te vertellen over hoe zij het immuunsysteem laten samenwerken met antibiotica. Luister de uitzending hier terug: https://t.co/bEEK7bX6vv

Promovenda @HeesterbeekDani en microbioloog prof. Suzan Rooijakkers @UMCUtrecht leggen in de studio bij @denieuwsbv uit dat toevoegen van delen van het immuunsysteem (complement) aan antibiotica kan helpen bij het beter bestrijden van bacteriële infecties https://t.co/0AI67NcMlG

Vooruitlopend op haar promotie op 29/8, hierbij alvast een mooi stuk in @trouw vandaag met @HeesterbeekDani over het onderzoek om met hulp van het complement-systeem (specifieke lichaamseigen eiwitten) bacteriën te bestrijden door er gaatjes in te 'boren' https://t.co/EPAyZWJtDZ

Last Friday, prof. Suzan Rooijakkers @UMCUtrecht held her inaugural lecture. Together with investigators @UniUtrecht and @Genmab, she collaborates in the Utrecht Molecular Immunology Hub to develop therapeutic antibodies against drug-resistant Gr- bacteria https://t.co/A3jBaW8YuQ

PhD students @HeesterbeekDani & Bart Bardoel from #MMB @UMCUtrecht discovered that (pathogenic) bacteria are killed by local assembly of complement parts at the bacterial cell surface facilitating pore formation in inner/outer cell membranes https://t.co/24TVGqkxfm @embojournal

Off to London to do some cool science at London centre for nanotechnology!
