Excited to share our preprint on multimodal single-cell sequencing to characterize antigen-specific CD8+ T cells across COVID vaccination and disease. We also release datasets profiling ATAC, RNA, protein, TCR and MHC dextramers at single-cell resolution: biorxiv.org/content/early/…

Take a handful of bacterial genetics, a bit of biochemistry, and a twist of microscopy and you get the latest Bernhardt lab story led by Elayne Fivenson on the shape determining role of the Gram-negative OM. #LPS #elongasome #teammicroscopy 🧫🦠🔬

Join us March 20 for NYU's annual Darwin Lecture! Featuring Carl Zimmer! This talk is open to the public but you have to register: eventbrite.com/e/2023-darwin-…

New @bioRxiv preprint! tinyurl.com/mr4yxsxb Ying Xie found that polysome collapse & mRNA condensation fluidizes the cytoplasm. This helps assembly of another membraneless stress organelle: Q-bodies! P-bodies and SGs tune the physical properties of the cytoplasm! RT plz!

My first paper ever is live on biorxiv! We Rojas Lab modeled all the shapes that are physically possible for a tip growing cell and compared those to what is observed in nature. Surprise! Not all possible shapes are occupied and a mechanical instability may govern this

🚨 Sunrise NYU just won divestment at New York University! This is a huge win for climate justice! Congratulations to every student organizer who made this happen. #DivestNYU #ClimateJustice theguardian.com/us-news/2023/s…

Dear Twitter, Guy Mason (Guy) made a very nice paper about how bacteria survive bacteriophage if you squish them! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… See also related work by Nassos Typas and Christopher Hernandez :) 10.1101/2022.07.26.501644 and 10.1038/s41598-023-40897-w

Come hear Maxim (Maxim Ohairwe ) headline an all-star lineup at the Grad Center this Friday!

And a shout-out to all bacteria and archaea cytosleleton folks - we want to grow in participation in the following years. I have only great interactions with our fungi and plant colleagues.

Dear Twitter, Maxim Ohairwe made a really cool paper on how an instability (bifurcation) the fitness landscape of fungal hyphae leads to a strict constraint on their shapes! nyu.edu/about/news-pub…

🔬🦠 Read our latest review tinyurl.com/2y9ebsgl in PLOS Pathogens on bacterial condensates, their role in stress sensing and response, and potential for influencing host-pathogen interactions. Fun project with the Childers Lab. Congrats to Moeka Sasazawa and Dylan Tomares

Lactate is an important substrate🍔for P. aeruginosa in infection sites. We show that PA’s “redundant” lactate dehydrogenases are used by different biofilm subpopulations and contribute to survival within macrophages🦠Great work by Lindsey Florek& collabs.doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

Wall teichoic acids regulate peptidoglycan synthesis by paving cell wall microstructure biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

Excited to finally share our recent work, "Wall teichoic acids regulate peptidoglycan synthesis by paving cell wall microstructure", available now on bioRxiv! Rojas Lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excite to share our paper about cell shape homeostasis in bacteria: Non-linear stress-softening of the bacterial cell wall confers cell shape homeostasis biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Rojas Lab
