A cool work from Ilya and Rotem on the 'damage-associated molecular pattern' that bacteria sense to detect phage attack (DNA degradation leading to increase in methylated nucleotides) and the immune response as abortive infection. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Our new review paper is out: Discovery of novel antimicrobials within microbiomes www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... A fun collaboration with @delafuentelab.bsky.social and the 1st paper of Erez Weisberg and Aya Friedman
A relatively recent work with cool finding. Many questions remain open. "A complete DNA repair system assembled by two endosymbionts restores heat tolerance of the insect host" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
