This was a long but exciting project to make a fungal wall model that is right size and shape. We give you the e-building bricks to make your own model wall as well! @MRCcmm @eurconfmedmycol @ISHAM_Mycology @BMS_Scientific @BSMM_Junior

Activity-Based Protein Profiling Reveals That Cephalosporins Selectively Active on Non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis Bind Multiple Protein Families and Spare Peptidoglycan Transpeptidases. https://t.co/8NWCmxaRdt

[The Cell Surface @TheCellSurface]

Excellent story by @Childers_Lab et al. on how the pathogenic fungus C. albicans evades immune system detection via β-glucan shaving on the cell surface.

[Dr Jonathan Cox @DrJonathanCox]

Hot off the press, our latest paper with @UniofHerts Madhu Goyal & @unibirmingham @gurdyalbesra showing that a powerful new set of chalcone anti-tubercular compounds directly target InhA. 💊🧫 Published in @TheCellSurface today #TB #drugdiscovery @AstonLHS https://t.co/DJHdvkqmqw

[The Cell Surface @TheCellSurface]

New work from @gurdyalbesra and @drjonathoncox labs on InhA inhibitors. https://t.co/x7knDpFzP7

New publication from MFIG

This is one of the last projects in which Nick Read was involved. It's quality speaks for him.

We honour his memory. We miss him very much

New work from the @gurdyalbesra lab on the activation of anti-tubercular rhein derivatives. https://t.co/oOfA4Qr3If

[Foster Lab @foster_lab]

Fantastic Nature paper from our very own @Laia_Pasquina and colleagues, looking at Gram positive cell wall architecture using #AFM. A lot of hard work has paid off!

Beautiful imaging showing nanotube interaction between two different bacteria species by Baidya et al. 2020 https://t.co/aqhflW8tPL

[Sigal Ben-Yehuda @sigalby]

A COVID break:
Our paper is out! See how cell wall lytic enzymes travel along nanotubes to reach the surface of a neighboring bacterium, establishing nanotube connectivity!
