Big thanks to Fabio Fernandes for getting us started with FLIM-FRET over five years ago!

An interesting conclusion: FtsW self-interacts, suggesting that septal peptidoglycan synthesis may be carried out by a multimeric complex capable of synthesizing multiple glycan strands at once.

Check out this tour de force by Nils Meiresonne and colleagues, establishing FLIM-FRET as a reliable way to study protein interactions in live bacteria with spatiotemporal resolution! We open the door to exploring divisome protein interactions during cell division.

FtsW protein-protein interactions visualized in live Staphylococcus aureus cells by FLIM-FRET

The bacterial cell cycle relies on the coordinated and dynamic interactions between division proteins and those involved in peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis. However, visualizing these interactions in viv...

Why do lower-resolution images sometimes yield better results in deep learning for bioimaging analyses? 🤔📉

Mariana Ferreira's new preprint on #ReScale4DL explores this paradox and introduces optimal resolution design! @gomez-mariscal.bsky.social brainchild🧑‍🔬✨

All you wanted to know about chromosome segregation in Staphylococcus aureus and were afraid to ask - check our new preprint! A great collaboration with Xindan Wang´s lab!

Chromosome segregation dynamics during the cell cycle of Staphylococcus aureus

Research on chromosome organization and cell cycle progression in spherical bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, remains limited and fragmented. In this study, we established a working model ...

Can't wait for this new meeting on drug resistance and tolerance across species and diseases. A principle revealed in one system – maybe using different terminology – could be the big new idea when imported to another!
Abstract deadline in January!
