🇻🇳 What a great week at the BPHCI Conference in Vietnam! @j-toinon.bsky.social and @angieprrt.bsky.social enjoyed sharing their results on M. marinum–Dicty interactions. A small crowd, but packed with brilliant science and great vibes! 🥂

Excited to share Wendy Le Mouëllic’s PhD work, now published in @pnas.org!
It reveals that M. tuberculosis depends on inorganic sulfate import to survive inside host cells—fueling essential processes such as redox balance and stress resistance.
Huge congrats to Wendy & colleagues!

🦠 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 🤫
