Thanks for posting it!

Very nice review!!

Big thanks to Fabio Fernandes for getting us started with FLIM-FRET over five years ago!

An interesting conclusion: FtsW self-interacts, suggesting that septal peptidoglycan synthesis may be carried out by a multimeric complex capable of synthesizing multiple glycan strands at once.

FtsW protein-protein interactions visualized in live Staphylococcus aureus cells by FLIM-FRET The bacterial cell cycle relies on the coordinated and dynamic interactions between division proteins and those involved in peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis. However, visualizing these interactions in viv...

Check out this tour de force by Nils Meiresonne and colleagues, establishing FLIM-FRET as a reliable way to study protein interactions in live bacteria with spatiotemporal resolution! We open the door to exploring divisome protein interactions during cell division.

Why do lower-resolution images sometimes yield better results in deep learning for bioimaging analyses? 🤔📉

Mariana Ferreira's new preprint on #ReScale4DL explores this paradox and introduces optimal resolution design! @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social brainchild🧑‍🔬✨

Abstraction submission for the next Great Wall Symposium is now open!
Come to Sicily in September and learn the latest on bacterial cell wall biology.

Can't wait for this new meeting on drug resistance and tolerance across species and diseases. A principle revealed in one system – maybe using different terminology – could be the big new idea when imported to another!
Abstract deadline in January!

Hi
Can you add me to the list please?

Cell constriction requires processive septal peptidoglycan synthase movement independent of FtsZ treadmilling in Staphylococcus aureus - Nature Microbiology Single-molecule imaging reveals that peptidoglycan synthesis and synthase activity, rather than FtsZ treadmilling, are rate limiting and drive septum constriction in Staphylococcus aureus.

Super nice work from Simon Schäper showing that septal peptidoglycan synthases in S. aureus are not driven by FtsZ treadmilling. Instead they follow a one track model and their processive movement is dependent on peptidoglycan synthesis.
