Early shedding was always there, we just learned how to follow it.
Excited to share this work 👇
Why would Mycobacterium shed its surface right after entering a host cell? Host phagocytes rapidly strip its outer layer, releasing components that alert neighbors and trigger defense responses

Our preprint is out, curious to hear your take! 👀

One month ago, I defended my PhD thesis 🎓, the end of a long, intense journey filled with challenges, growth, and resilience. 💪

Did you know the cell wall of mycobacteria isn’t just for protection? 🧱👀 Here, Mycobacterium marinum sheds its outer capsule right after being eaten by Dicty! A sneaky move that affects even nearby cells… #FluorescenceFriday #Mycobacteria #CellBiology #Infection #3Rmodels #Phagocytosis

Following the news that eLife will not receive an Impact Factor in 2025, we’ve shared an update on how our model is doing since we were first placed “on hold” by Web of Science, and what we’re up to now. Find out more.
