OUT NOW 👉 Bacteriophages avoid autoimmunity from cognate immune systems as an intrinsic part of their life cycles Jakob T Rostøl Nuria Quiles Pablo Iturbe Lasa_Lab José R Penadés

Led by Jakob T Rostøl and Nuria Quiles, with Lasa_Lab, we show that prophages utilise noncontiguous operons to balance immunity and autoimmunity. Our results underscore the essential fine regulation of these processes for prophages' life cycle development.

La mayoría de las bacterias viven en estructuras complejas llamadas biofilms que les protegen de cambios en el ambiente y de biocidas. De ellas hemos hablado con Íñigo Lasa, catedrático de microbiología en UPNA - Universidad e investigador de Navarrabiomed.

Íñigo Lasa (Lasa_Lab), IP de la Unidad de Investigación en Patogénesis Microbiana de #Navarrabiomed y catedrático de microbiología de la UPNA - Universidad explica en el programa 'A Hombros de Gigantes' de RTVE la estrategia evolutiva de las bacterias

🦠 Las bacterias son los seres vivos más abundantes del planeta.

Durante muchos años se pensó que vivían flotando, pero resulta que la gran mayoría forman unas estructuras que reciben el nombre de biofilms.

Hablamos de ellas en 'A hombros de gigantes'.
