Organoider, miniatyrorgan som odlas från mänskliga stamceller, är mycket användbara i forskning. I framtiden kommer de ha en stor betydelse även inom transplantationsvården. #Organoid #UppsalaUniversitet #Forskning

Mast cell subsets respond uniquely to Salmonella infection. Read all about it in our latest paper in EJI. Another chapter in our deciphering of mast cell interactions with enterobacteria, driven by Chris von Beek. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Such a rewarding collab it has been with our colleagues at #Novavax to dissect the MoA of their potent Matrix-M adjuvant. This project has really put the imaging skills of @erixoneriksson.bsky.social to the test. The fruits of this joint labour out now in NPJ Vaccines www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Alert! The abstract deadline for the Microbial Pathogenesis & Host Response meeting has been extended to July 7 meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.asp...

New preprint out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We followed up on our recent Nature Genetics paper mapping Shigella colonization in intestinal organoids with a deep dive into one of the screen hits: pcnB. #Shigella #virulence #microsky

Thanks @sydneylmiles.bsky.social and @sergemostowylab.bsky.social for writing such a sharp and thoughtful editorial, which covers all the main points and potential caveats of our study published yesterday. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks @scilifelab.se for the highlight of our recently published study @natgenet.nature.com. Link to the full paper here: rdcu.be/eqGgf

Our latest work combines human gut epithelial #organoid culture with experimental #Shigella #infections, transposon mutagenesis, and statistical modeling. This has led to the mapping of the comprehensive geneset that drives Shigella epithelial colonization. Out @natgenet.nature.com: rdcu.be/eqGgf

I enjoyed this NPR story but thought it was a bit unclear regarding the origin of the name "Salmonella" and who should be credited with its discovery.
