The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a big, important organelle. But what is its role in filamentous fungi (i.e., hyphae)? Information is limited, though this #MMBR review provides some insights and identifies knowledge gaps that must be resolved. https://t.co/KIcMEn6zQZ
In #JVirology, researchers find that collateral sensitivity—when resistance to 1 antimicrobial agent increases sensitivity to another—bolsters the efficacy of a rationally designed phage combination to control the foodborne pathogen Salmonella enterica. https://t.co/AGljo6xGiW
With a novel mechanism of action & no known resistances, peptidoglycan hydrolases (PGH) show promise as antimicrobials. In @mbiojournal, researchers engineered a PGH that exhibits an extraordinary ability to eradicate staphylococci. https://t.co/Ab4H6XGySj
FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀
Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station!
Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑🚀

🚨🚨I'm excited to share our new paper out now in @PLOSBiology! We found that Salmonella tricks us into killing its competitors, the gut microbiota, by inducing IL-1b production. This allows Salmonella to remodel the gut niche to it's advantage. A 🧵/1

Since 2010, the genus Listeria has had the addition of 22 new species. In @mbiojournal—a review of the taxonomy, ecology and relevance to food safety of these species, plus a re-iteration of the suggestion to re-classify some of them into new genera. https://t.co/66GrsWvMj8
2023 Small Molecule Approvals! @drughuntersite
A lot of fascinating firsts in 2023 including:
-The first FDA-approved oral ER degrader
-The first FDA-approved reversible BTK inhibitor
-The first FDA-approved gamma-secretase inhibitor (not in Alzheimer’s!)
-A reversible covalent, brain-penetrant Nrf2 activator
-The first drug derived from mRNA display screening for macrocyclic peptides
-The first PI3K inhibitor with a first approval outside oncology
-A factor B-targeting Breakthrough Therapy for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
-The first intranasal CGRP antagonist for fast-acting migraine treatment

"The threat of antimicrobial resistance means that new antibiotics need to be used sparingly. Governments must support their development with a long-term funding plan" https://t.co/p0fy9amyU3
