The multifaceted roles of NAD+ in bacterial immunity
In this review, Vaysset and Bernheim examine how nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
(NAD+) is a key player in diverse and widespread bacterial antiphage defense systems
and phage counterdefense. The au...
Many antiphage systems use NAD+, in many ways.
@hugovaysset.bsky.social reviewed them all!
Read to know more about all their molecular mechanisms, how phages counteract them, their distribution in bacteria and their conservation in eukaryotic immunity!

Delighted to see our paper studying the evolution of plasmids over the last 100 years, now out! Years of work by Adrian Cazares, also Nick Thomson @sangerinstitute.bsky.social - this version much improved over the preprint. Final version should be open access, apols.

1.5 million euros for research into “bacterial killers”
ERC Starting Grant awarded to Jens Hör from the Helmholtz Institute Würzburg
I'm really happy to have been granted an @erc.europa.eu Starting Grant! We'll study the molecular principles of RNA phages—from infection to replication to bacterial immunity. Interested in joining? Feel free to reach out! Formal job ads to follow.
