Just out in Infection and Immunity!
Our latest review explores how neutrophils balance antimicrobial defense with tissue protection during infection, with a focus on metabolic signaling and NETs.

The debut paper from the lab is live! Check out the amazing work by @ashleydwise.bsky.social and collaborators discovering that mitochondria are not just the 'powerhouse of the cell' but adapted by neutrophils to sense bacterial persistence and trigger NETosis.

Mitochondria sense bacterial lactate and drive release of neutrophil extracellular traps
Historically, neutrophil mitochondria were overlooked as they do not contribute to energy homeostasis. Wise et al. reveal that neutrophil mitochondria can sense bacterial persistence in the phagosome ...

Delighted to share our new study. A collaboration with the Thurlow lab. Antibiotic resistance rapidly emerges and thrives in diabetic mice. A worrying coming together of two major and growing health problems worldwide www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Diabetes potentiates the emergence and expansion of antibiotic resistance
Diabetic infections are a reservoir for the emergence and proliferation of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.
