📣 New paper alert! Just out in Cell Reports! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40644298/
Thrilled to share that we have discovered a brand-new anti-phage defense system! Bacteria have evolved various defense strategies (CRISPR etc) to counter phage attacks. We found a new one - fascinating and dramatic

Popular theory of eukaryogenesis suggests an Asgard archaeon once engulfed a bacterium, giving rise to the first eukaryotic cell. The bacterium became the mitochondrion. We show direct physical interaction between an Asgard archaeon and a bacterium via nanotubes! Maybe that's how it all started? 👀

Our CryoET imaging revealed N. marumarumayae possesses unique cell features that appear to reflect their ancestry as progenitors for the earliest eukaryotic cells. ❄️🦠 🔬

Delighted to share our recent work in Nat Comms. This is a "Story of a dwarf predator"
