Happy to share our lastest story about the Stringent Response ! We show how host-relevant stress disrupts Fe-S cluster stability, tuning (p)ppGpp levels to control bacterial adaptation and trigger virulence.

Pathogenic bacteria rely on the stringent response to adapt to the complex and fluctuating conditions encountered within the host. However, the mechanisms by which the stringent response senses host-i...

Challenging times for biomedical research in the U.S. One of our grants was terminated and two others frozen. Thinking of colleagues from Bethesda to Boston to South Africa who are facing the same uncertainty. Now more than ever, we must speak up for the value of this work.

Excited to share our last study. Huge congrats to Sarah Monard, Arnaud Métais, @gclugo.bsky.social, @chrisverollet.bsky.social and all colleagues!
We have found a mysterious cell type inside TB lung lesions that seems neuron-like but isn't quite a nerve cell.
