Ece1 is a highly conserved hypha-specific polyprotein, a part of which is processed to form candidalysin. Candidalysin is a pore forming toxin that plays a pivotal role during infections. Rita and @Aennekin1 describe the role of the conserved, but overlooked, NCEPs.

Our very own Rita Müller presenting her work @VAAM_microbes on how - team work makes the dream work! The conserved polyprotein structure of ece1 helps safely transports the peptide toxin candidalysin out of 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴, which helps it establish an infection.

On Tuesday evening, Adrian presented our ongoing work on establishing a gut-on-chip model to mimic Vibrio cholerae infections in a human context at the @MPSWorldSummit in Berlin.
Thanks for all the inspiring scientific exchange during the Poster Session!

[Annika König @Aennekin1]

Today @Raquel_Aloro from @mpm_hki and PD Alexander Mosig from the @mosig_lab gave excellent talks on host-pathogen interactions using organ-on-chip technologies provided by @Dynamic42_Jena at the @MPSWorldSummit.
Thank you for sharing your exciting data!

In case you missed it, catch up with Sophie Austermeier @2023Grc to talk about her poster on the potential of interferon-gamma immunotherapy to treat Candida infections, and how it’s influenced by a person’s genetic background. @aps_hki @LeibnizHKI @Mark_Gresnigt

“Should I stay or should I go”, you should *stay* on to meet @Lydia_Kasper at the @2023Grc poster (#21) session, and hear out what she has to say about Candida’s interactions with macrophages. @LeibnizHKI
