Excited to share the lab's 1rst preprint! Rapid high-res immunofluorescence is now possible in cultured & environmental diatoms thanks to 4-fold expansion microscopy. A step-change for comparative cell biology in one of the most important phytoplankton groups on the planet 🥳

📣A new preprint by Talia Shaler! 📣
How do populations develop resistance to viral infections?
We mapped the transcriptomic landscape of algal resistance to lytic viral infection and identified a unique set of resistance-related genes expressed in those cells >>

📣 We are excited to share our latest paper about Cathepsin X, a new algal cell death gene, led by @aviamizrachi.bsky.social and @maisadeh.bsky.social, published in Current Biology @currentbiology.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/3 >>
Cathepsin X is a conserved cell death protein involved in algal response to environmental stress
Phytoplankton are responsible for half of the global photosynthesis and form vast blooms in aquatic ecosystems. Bloom demise fuels marine microbial li…
