The "missing lead paradox" has been like having a history book with crucial pages torn out – we know something important is missing from our understanding of how Earth evolved. In our new paper in Nature Communications, we propose a mineral-physics solution. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Hidden pressure-stabilized lead reservoirs in Earth’s mantle - Nature Communications
High-pressure Pb-S phases stable in Earth’s lower mantle provide a mechanism for long-term sequestration and episodic remobilization of lead, offering a plausible explanation for the missing lead para...

I guess the “Sinner is in crisis and needs to reinvent himself“ narrative has now been put to sleep. And the “Sinner is a robot“ one is back? When u think that after Doha, it was the “Alcaraz is now unbeatable“ one. Bless tennis.

What if quorum sensing doesn’t promote biofilms - but restrains it? 🤔 New work from @harisantypas.bsky.social shows that the Fsr QS system in Enterococcus faecalis acts as a brake on biofilm formation and pathogenesis during infective endocarditis (IE). www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Loss of Fsr quorum sensing promotes biofilm formation and worsens outcomes in enterococcal infective endocarditis - Nature Communications
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an understudied biofilm-associated infection. Here, analyses of preclinical and clinical data reveal that the Fsr quorum sensing (QS) system of Enterococcus faecalis is ...

Enterococcus faecalis redox metabolism activates the unfolded protein response to impair wound healing
E. faecalis EET generates ROS, which induces the UPR in keratinocytes, inhibiting in vitro migration.

Guillaume Thibault@gthibault.bsky.social · 7mo agoWe’ve discovered how the superbug E. faecalis prevents chronic wounds from healing. It’s not a toxin. It’s metabolism. The bacteria use extracellular electron transport (EET) to electrochemically generate ROS, effectively "freezing" skin cells in place. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aeb5297
Help shape the @ascbiology.bsky.social #CellBio2026 program! The official call for session proposals is now open! We are looking for innovative ideas for Minisymposia and Special Interest Subgroup meetings for next year’s meeting. Submit your proposal by February 22 www.ascb.org/cellbio2026-...

So glad to see this paper out! A small but rewarding contribution from our side. It was a fantastic experience collaborating with @kimingeneva.bsky.social, @ronni.bsky.social, and this great global team on such an interesting manuscript.
Kimberly Kline 🏔@kimingeneva.bsky.social · 6mo agoLactic acid lover?

Enterococcus fans: Check out our latest on E. faecalis EET, advancing our understanding of both the fundamental physiology of this bug and new mechanisms of its virulence. This is the product of a thrilling collaboration with friends in Singapore @gthibault.bsky.social led by @aarontan.bsky.social.
