Check out the preprint from the wonderful collaboration with Karine Dufresne and John McCormick lab! We show that a small bioactive molecule inhibits TSST-1 production to prevent mTSS and further show the impact of the compound on SaeRS! Solid 2024 so far in the Shaun Brinsmade shaunbrinsmade.bsky.social lab!
