How do persister cells survive antibiotics?

In @ScienceMagazine, researchers revealed how bacteria share proteins under antibiotic stress, uncovering a mechanism by which microbes can survive antibiotics. These results suggest potential strategies to target persistent infections: https://t.co/fHVGXekyMw

[ASCI @the_asci]

Macropinocytosis is a nutrient-scavenging process that is enhanced by cellular stress

https://t.co/wIbABdgfjs
Here, ASCI member Ivan O. Rosas et al. @BCMFromtheLabs report on the contribution of macropinocytosis to the profibrotic responses in activated lung fibroblasts, and show its inhibition has potent anti-fibrotic effects in experimental models of pulmonary fibrosis.

The images show decreased COL1 labeling (red) in IPF-derived precision cut lung slices treated with vehicle (left) or EIPA (right).
