Just one single gut bacteria is astonishingly sufficient to repress the antibiotic-resistant C. difficile infection. A real game changer from colleagues at the Center. AI and synthetic communities boiled it all down. Big vision by the trainees and faculty www.psu.edu/news/researc...

Every scientist, long before they were a scientist, was a little kid who stood in front of a fish tank or stared up at the stars or turned over a rock to look at the bugs underneath and said “wow”. On the best days, working in science still feels like that.

Over 2.5 billion years ago, trillions of tiny Cyanobacteria spent hundreds of millions of years creating an oxygen-rich atmosphere on Earth. Take a deep breath. How are you using your oxygen today? Be present. Give freely. Care for others. Make your ancient microbial cousins proud. Exhale. Repeat.

Purifying 16 L of native C. diff toxin is by far the most brutal protein purification I have ever done. Never been more grateful for having a recombinant toxin system and for good cold beer. 😅

Being a scientist is more than a job, it’s a way of life. It’s a constant desire to understand the intricacies of how things in this world function. No matter how dark things get, just remember that no matter what happens, they can never take away our inherent, relentless quest for knowledge.

We identified protein domains in LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor). Their distinctive amino acid usage reveals the order amino acids were added to the genetic code, based mostly on size. Older proteins hint at earlier alternative codes. 1/15 @seekingluca.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Metals increase binding of many metalloregulators to DNA, and the converse is also true. As a result, cells benefit from facilitating mehanisms to help proteins dissociate. Peng Chen et al. describe how collaborating regulators can facilitate repressor dissociation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
