Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55

🆕A 3D culture system makes it possible to simulate the behavior of epithelial tissue

This technique is an key step forward in understanding how mutations expand in tissues as we age

Thank you!

Hi! Nice topic! Could I be included, please? I work in epithelial primary 3D cultures studying mutant cell competition: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Somatic mutation and selection at epidemiological scale As we age, many tissues become colonised by microscopic clones carrying somatic driver mutations ([1][1]–[10][2]. Some of these clones represent a first step towards cancer whereas others may contribu...

Resharing here a recent X post. In this preprint, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people. 1/ www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
