We studied how exogenous mucins influence phage-bacterium interplay in human epithelial cells. This work is now available in BiorXiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Mucin-enriched environment shapes bacteriophage protection against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in airway epithelial cells

Mucin hypersecretion, a hallmark of chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), creates a complex microenvironment that reshapes host immunity and microbial behavior. However, its impact on bacteriophage ther...

It is not everyday that we can name a virus after a city! Long effort finally out now, adding Finland to the giant virus map. On top of this, in-depth structural data. Thanks @lrsundberg.bsky.social @abrescialab.bsky.social et al. elifesciences.org/articles/103... @cansuit.bsky.social

Genomic and structural insights into Jyvaskylavirus, the first giant virus isolated from Finland

Jyvaskylavirus, the northernmost isolate of the Marseilleviridae family, shows that giant viruses are also part of the boreal Finnish environment and brings structural information with relevance for u...

First paper on a collaboration between the @cansuit.bsky.social of the UiT (Norway) and the UNIFAL (Brazil). This paper strengthens mucosal adaptations as the reason why prophylactic phage therapy works and also is symbolic in the revival of phage research in Brazil. rdcu.be/d5rhE

Hello new phage phollowers! I am shamelessly self-promoting mine and Angus Buckling's relatively new review "Critically evaluating the relative importance of phage in shaping microbial community composition" www.cell.com/trends/micro...

Critically evaluating the relative importance of phage in shaping microbial community composition

The ubiquity of bacteriophages (phages) and the major evolutionary and ecological impacts they can have on their microbial hosts has resulted in phages often cited as key drivers shaping microbial com...
