Thrilled to now be on bluesky!
All the fun without all the angst of contributing to the rise of authoritarianism!

For inventory, my lab needs to switch from Quartzy to something free, or at least cheap. Any thoughts on https://t.co/HA3CJWsCk9 @LabSpend ?

@julieSdimartino Yes, if you could share your google drive system I would appreciate it!

Kohli, Garrido et al. on the pleiotropic roles of ER chaperones during viral infection, including their essential roles viral glycoprotein folding and QC and how viruses co-opt ER chaperones to evade host defenses https://t.co/sZSxbkJTAI #MMBR @ASMicrobiology

Mesquita, Wu and Tringe have a new review on methyl-based methanogenesis, an important source of methane in a variety of environments @jgi @BerkeleyLab @sgtringe @ASMicrobiology #MMBRJournal https://t.co/POTpxYBjoI

Wingfield et al. elucidate genetic networks and pathways involved in each major stage of the sexual cycle in filamentous ascomycete fungi #mmbr @ASMicrobiology https://t.co/SKhZKMgCoL

Arcangioli and Gangloff on how one haploid fission yeast cell generates two sister cells with opposite mating types, a prerequisite for sexual reproduction

Zanders and Johannesson explore fungal spore killers, meiotic drive elements that cheat during sexual reproduction to increase their transmission into the next generation of ascomycete genera https://t.co/COTgIzvLTM #MMBR @ASMicrobiology

Check out this PBS Vitals episode on antibiotics and their waning ability to cure bacterial infections. https://t.co/kPxdqkKbhm

Your hosts, Alok and Sheena, are doing a terrific job of making health science accessible through Vitals: https://t.co/fDyeML1RWe

Just out, Carol Blair revisits the discovery of the mosquito’s use of RNAi to combat arbovirus infections, including exploration of the exo-siRNA response and the piRNA response. @ASMicrobiology https://t.co/aNap96xT0m @ASMicrobiology #MMBRJournal

Key point:

@CorrieDetweiler @ASMicrobiology And taking probiotics galore without giving them their preferred diet will make very little difference. They won’t establish and thrive.

[Corrie Detweiler @CorrieDetweiler]

New, Seike & Niki detail how diversification of ascomycete fungi mating phermones drives speciation. M-factor may mediate partner discrimination, and P-factor may allow flexible adaptation and variations in S. pombe @Sp_2106 https://t.co/KnbtGPV8dY @ASMicrobiology #MMBRJournal

[Corrie Detweiler @CorrieDetweiler]

Just out, Franzén et al. on bifidobacteria: their use as probiotics is complicated by their highly heterogenous tolerance to stressors in the gut, such as oxygen, acid, and bile salts. https://t.co/ZWAPaIPjTr @ASMicrobiology #MMBRJournal

[Corrie Detweiler @CorrieDetweiler]

New, Flórez and colleagues on mechanisms underlying the early stage of beneficial bacterium-invertebrate associations, from initial contact to the establishment of the symbionts in specific locations within the host. https://t.co/H08IF78VPU @ASMicrobiology #MMBR

[Corrie Detweiler @CorrieDetweiler]

Just out, Nowrousian shows how transcriptional control and chromatin structure drive the formation of fungal fruiting bodies in 3D from a simple vegetative mycelium across several model organisms. https://t.co/nUhfUnhigv @ASMicrobiology #MMBRJournal

This is why reproductive-system-specific healthcare research is so important. Generalization and system-nonspecific research can lead to further and incorrect generalizations. Controls are more than just null experiments, it's reporting everything you can and cannot account for.

La biodiversidad no siempre es buena, al menos en lo tocante a la microbiota vaginal

Parece que es mejor tener solo lactobacilos que otros microbios
