We’re excited to share our latest work on bioRxiv: "Salmonella exploits USP32 to coordinate Rab14 and Rab11 recycling pathways for intracellular survival" by Sapmaz et al www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #Salmonella #CellBiology #HostPathogen #Ubiquitin #bioRxiv

It's such a great honor and a wonderful opportunity to receive this starting grant from the @frm-officiel.bsky.social! Very excited to become a PI at @ipbstoulouse.bsky.social. None of this would be possible without the support of my students, mentors, and peers. This is only the beginning!🚀

New pre-print in the lab! Beautiful work by Francisco Garcia-Rodriguez in collab with @kamovalenz.bsky.social and @joaquinbernal.bsky.social : when macrophages are provided with specific nutrients, Salmonella can bypass its requirement of the T3SS to replicate, a process that occurs within the SCV

Je partage ici le message d'un collègue argentin a qui je demandais des news. Glaçant 😱! La Méthode Milei (bel euphémisme gerbant) démantèle éducation&recherche, cible les savoirs qui comme aux US, gênent politiquement: climat&écologie, justice env. Le fascisme s'installe.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Prof. Mike Sheetz, a true leader in Mechanobiology. His groundbreaking work on Kinesin, membrane organization, and mechanotransduction has left an indelible mark. A tremendous loss to science. #Mechanobiology #Science #LaskerAward

My first science post here on BlueSky is a long one. Setting the contrarian tone from the very beginning, I take strong issue with the recent op-ed by Charles Piller published in the January 24th NY Times on #Alzheimer's disease (nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...)

Hi Folks! What topics would you love to see explored in a roundtable discussion at a cell biology meeting? I’d like to hear what excites the community and see if we can make it happen.

Good to see the New York Times discussing the likelihood of polio, whooping cough and measles outbreaks.

This set of mutants strains lacking different combinations of Salmonella Effector proteins is innovative… Will be VERY useful for the Salmonella research field… #microsky

Excited to share this story describing new tools for studying Salmonella virulence. We engineered six multimutant strains to be deficient for different sets of SPI-2 T3SS effectors. We think there's lots of potential for new discoveries using these strains www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
