Very cool findings on euk/prok immunity front: the viral side. 👏 👏 => Animal poxviruses encode proteins structurally and functionally related to anti-CBASS protein Acb1 Animal and bacterial viruses share conserved mechanisms of immune evasion sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I have been waiting for this! So it’s correct, what’s true for E. coli is true for elephants

Absolutely fascinating!! So excited (even just as a philosophical observer) to see this research progressing in this direction 🦠

Homologs of bacterial defense systems in the human genome 🤩👌 congrats MDMLab and Enzo Poirier's lab ! Bacterial immunity can teach us a lot about how eukaryotes fend off pathogens, which we are just beginning to explore.

To that guy at the conference who said to my question of whether prokaryotic antiphage systems could give mechanistic insight to eukaryotic immune pathways that it was “unlikely” 👀

Getting inspired by amazing athletes at the Paralympics! #Paris2024. Got a souvenir to remember the Olympics values in our everyday life. We hope the "Phrygie" will cheer and guide us through our experiments!

The final version of our paper on anti-CRISPRs "in disguise" as Cas proteins is out today in Nature! Congrats to Mark, Edith and the whole team! nature.com/articles/s4158…
