Did you know the cell wall of mycobacteria isn’t just for protection? 🧱👀 Here, Mycobacterium marinum sheds its outer capsule right after being eaten by Dicty! A sneaky move that affects even nearby cells… #FluorescenceFriday #Mycobacteria #CellBiology #Infection #3Rmodels #Phagocytosis

Looking forward to seeing some excellent talks and posters today: "A Dutch Perspective on Mycobacterial Infections". #Mycobacteria #TB Amazed to learn so much interesting research to understand TB and non-TB mycobacterial infections is going on in NL: www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/events/20...

For the 5th time, the DANish-GERman (DanGeRoUS) #Mycobacteria Club meeting will take place today at the @fzborstel.bsky.social. Experts from Denmark, Sweden, Romania, Moldova, Korea & Germany will present & discuss clinical cases of #NTM- and #TB diseases. We wish all participants an exciting day!

Per què hi ha casos de tuberculosi a l'Institut B9 de Badalona? Els últims brots de tuberculosi han posar de relleu la incidència d’aquesta malaltia, una situació peculiar, ja que semblava fa uns anys gairebé erradicada. Una percepció clarament equivocada. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nclb...

Global warming may be associated with an increase in added sugar intake in the form of sugar-sweetened beverages and frozen desserts in the US, especially among more socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, according to study in @natclimate.nature.com: spklr.io/63327BH7qP #ClimateChange 🧪

Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of MIT is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be."
