🚨 New preprint!
Together with @carobarisch.bsky.social lab, we investigated how intracellular compartmentalization shapes lipid acquisition in mycobacteria
Interestingly, deleting one FACL enzyme (FACL6) revealed striking compartment-dependent phenotypes 🔬
Check it out: doi.org/10.64898/202...

Nice piece on @jcstark.bsky.social’s work on antibody-lectin chimeras (AbLecs), a new type of bispecific for cancer immune therapy and more #glycotime

A new immunotherapy approach could work for many types of cancer
Using molecules called AbLecs that block an immune checkpoint, researchers showed they could stimulate a strong anti-tumor immune response. The approach, which could work for many types of cancer, was...

Early shedding was always there, we just learned how to follow it.
Excited to share this work 👇

Why would Mycobacterium shed its surface right after entering a host cell? Host phagocytes rapidly strip its outer layer, releasing components that alert neighbors and trigger defense responses
Our preprint is out, curious to hear your take! 👀

One month ago, I defended my PhD thesis 🎓, the end of a long, intense journey filled with challenges, growth, and resilience. 💪

Did you know the cell wall of mycobacteria isn’t just for protection? 🧱👀 Here, Mycobacterium marinum sheds its outer capsule right after being eaten by Dicty! A sneaky move that affects even nearby cells… #FluorescenceFriday #Mycobacteria #CellBiology #Infection #3Rmodels #Phagocytosis
