🦠 Our new work just got published in Science Advances! Why Staphylococcus aureus clings so hard to skin.
👉 SdrD–Desmoglein-1 = the strongest protein bond ever measured — stronger than superglue!
🔗 Calcium (Ca²⁺) makes it even tougher.

I have to confess it's quite fun to talk about this whole-cell stuff, in particular because it's not my work, but a large team effort :-) If anybody is interested in joining the effort or just learn how to use the tools at workshops, check out qcb.illinois.edu (or mail us)!

NEW ROOM: I've deleted the original one. We're having an emergency Town Hall at the #BPS2025 #BPS to discuss the assault on #science and actions we can take.
@biophysicalsoc.bsky.social

Pls. Repost this one. :)
