Check our recent contribution to this paper: Characterization of an #amyloid -based antiphage defence system in Escherichia coli, in press in Nature Microbiology. Great collaboration with the team of Sven Saupe from IBGC Bordeaux.

Characterization of an amyloid-based antiphage defence system in Escherichia coli - Nature Microbiology

Prion-like proteins in Escherichia coli trigger an abortive infection mechanism in response to phage infection—a process similar to amyloid-mediated immune signalling in fungi and animals.

Une superbe journée organisée avec mon amie Pascale Cossart, pour commémorer les 20 ans, des grandes avancées françaises en biologie. De très belles présentation scientifiques.
Un constat partagé par tous, la recherche française est en danger en particulier, la recherche en biologie.
