Happy to share our work in Nature Microbiology. Gamma-Mobile-Trio systems are mobile elements rich in bacterial defensive and offensive tools. If you're interested in #Antiphage #T6SS #Vibrio #MGE then this is for you. 🧵1/15 rdcu.be/dXMwQ nature.com/articles/s4156…

We discovered a new immune signaling molecule: N7-cADPR N7-cADPR is produced by phage-stimulated TIR proteins. It activates a bacterial caspase, which then degrades essential proteins to curb infection Preprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… Congrats @FrancoisRousset & Ilya Osterman

Such a nice study! Congrats @FrancoisRousset and Ilya Osterman!! 👏

Did you know that bacteria remember their past for many generations? In this new preprint from us (Alexis Villani and Senen Mendoza) and Banin lab (Esther Shmidov ), we reveal the "how?" and "why?" underlying a long-standing mystery in bacterial memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am excited to finally share this preprint from Jörg Vogel. We've developed a reporter assay to enable high throughput discovery of carriers for ASOs into bacteria. This was a challenging and exciting journey for me, from MedChem/ChemBio into Mol/SynBio.

Received some wise words from the incredible Katalin Karikó today EMBO! A reminder to dream big, work with joy, and be careful with your RNA in the lab :) #EMBOat60

1/5 Big news from Aguilar Lab! Check out our first preprint! We’ve developed a new prostate organoid model to crack the mystery of E. coli prostatitis, a common, tough-to-treat infection in men. Our model reveals how these bacteria get in and thrive. #UPEC #Organoids #UTI

#Bakteriophagen gelten als mögliche Alternative zu klassischen Antibiotika. Ein Minisymposium am TWINCORE (inaktiv) am 13. November beschäftigt sich mit der Rolle von Phagen in Infektionsforschung und Medizin. Mit dabei sind u.a. Milan Gerovac & Jens Hör. twincore.de/en/events/news…

Fancy a postdoc in Munich? For a collaborative project between Sorek Lab and HornungLab on antiviral innate immunity, we are looking for exceptional candidates with skills in immunology / biochemistry / computational biology. More details here: genzentrum.uni-muenchen.de/career/postdoc…

I am very proud to share our paper on Tad1/Tad2 sponges, which appeared to be multifunctional anti-defense proteins that inhibit many different signaling-based immunity systems!💫 nature.com/articles/s4158…

🚨New preprint from our lab! We map the RNA interactions in E. coli infected by lambda, revealing an RNA-driven regulatory layer in phage-host dynamics. We find a phage-encoded sRNA hijacking host replication machinery, impacting the phage cycle.#microbiology #phages Regulating with RNAs in Bacteria and Archaea

This is a very important study! Congrats to all authors 👏

Exciting news! I started the junior research group 'Complexes in Phage-infected Cells' at Helmholtz Centre for Infection research Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung –inaktiv looking forward to explore new jumbo phage biology. We’re hiring! Join us for a PhD position.

🧬🧬 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙩!!🧬🧬 Latest collab with the amazing Ming Li & Yue Feng labs! How do phages bypass multi-layered defenses in bacteria? Spoiler: with equally complex anti-defenses!! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in phage therapy? TWINCORE is hosting a mini-symposium on these “microbe eaters” & their role in infection research & medicine on November 13. Speakers include Jens Hör & Milan Gerovac. Guests are welcome, and registration is not required! twincore.de/en/events/news…

Phage vs. Bacteria: New findings! Phages use their own tRNAs to evade bacterial defenses like retrons and PrrC. Huge thanks to Azam for his hard work! in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our recent review on S. pneumoniae in Nature Reviews Microbiology nature.com/articles/s4157…

I’ve met so many amazing people here but it’s clearly time to go. I hope you’ll consider joining us at the Other Place now to rebuild our community.

I'm excited to present my work at the IIMCB in Warsaw! Details and a Zoom link below 👇
