The best keychain ever - ty. This was a molecule discovered in this work www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... . To Prof. Ipsita - I can’t wait to see what you will discover in your own lab at Penn State. Such a pleasure to have had you as a co-worker in the lab. @ipsitamohanty.bsky.social

Great work👌👌

This is an important paper to read for people that are trying to understand metabolomics data. Ions detected (features) are not molecules and molecules will generate many ion forms. Be aware of MS ion forms - understand and leverage them. Dark metabolome has a lot of discovery potential.

Cryptococcus neoformans is responsible for nearly 200,000 deaths per year - more than any other fungal pathogen. In this talk, Caroline Coelho describes development of a large-scale imaging platform to investigate host-pathogen interactions

Pseudomonas aeruginosa senses exopolysaccharide trails using type IV pili and adhesins during biofilm formation - Nature Microbiology Opposing forces generated by exopolysaccharide trail binding versus type IV pilus retraction generate a high cyclic diGMP–high cyclic AMP state in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that promotes social motility.

Cool 🦠

Pseudomonas aeruginosa lays down Psl exopolysaccharide as it crawls

Other cells detect and follow these trails using type IV pili pulling against adhesins like CdrA triggering c-di-GMP & cAMP surges to shift into early biofilm mode
