🦠 Mycobacteria aren't just tough, they're interior designers! 🦠 Check out our latest #preprint 🚨, led by our PhD student @camimille.bsky.social , where we show that #Mycobacterium tuberculosis builds secret cytoplasmic membranes to adapt its metabolism and sneak past immunity 🤫
Thread coming soon!

Time for some insights into our latest #preprint
Using cryo–electron tomography, we peeked inside different #Mtuberculosis strains, and a couple of other mycobacteria.🧐 Surprise: some species, especially the host-adapted ones, build intracytoplasmic membranes (we call them MIMs)! 🦠

Diving “Google earth mode 🌍” in a Shigella infected cell 🔬🔎

Zoom into a human cell infected by Shigella, the bacteria behind dysentery. Using cryo-EM, @leaswistak.bsky.social and team revealed how it pierces cells with molecular syringes. Stunning science at the nanoscale.

Our latest paper is out! Congratulations to @leaswistak.bsky.social et al for this amazing #cryoET work that elucidates the initial stages of #T3SS dependent vacuolar damage during #Shigella infection. We will do a deep-dive later! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

I wrote a little step-by-step guide for straightforward and simple visualization of timelapse lifetime data (specific for acquisition of lifetime data with a Leica scope):
