Co-option of an ancestral peptidase controls developmental patterning in multicellular cyanobacteria Developmental biology

How do simple cells make complex patterns? We discovered a key piece in cyanobacteria—an ancient enzyme repurposed to activate a pattern-forming signal. A conserved signaling strategy, showing how nature reuses tools to build multicellularity. www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

From Yemen to Mayotte, the spread of a highly drug-resistant cholera strain Scientists from the National Reference Center for Vibrios and Cholera at the Institut Pasteur, in collaboration with the Centre hospitalier de Mayotte, have revealed the spread of a highly drug-resist...

A recent study by the Institut Pasteur highlights the emergence of a cholera strain resistant to 10 antibiotics, including key treatments azithromycin and ciprofloxacin. This study demonstrates the need to strengthen global surveillance of the cholera agent. 🌍🔬 #cholera #AntibioticResistance

Given that there are more and more newcomers from science to Bluesky, we remind you we have a starteer pack for those interested in cyanobacteriology:
