Filamentous Phage Shields https://schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/2024/03/filamentous-phage-shields.html @STCmicrobeblog

Phage liquid crystalline droplets form occlusive sheaths that encapsulate and protect infectious rod-shaped #bacteria (2020) https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1917726117

"in #biofilms and due to the presence of #ExtracellularMatrix #polymers, Pf4 #phage particles form highly ordered yet dynamic #LiquidCrystals (tactoids) that surround the cells. Quite interestingly, these #tactoids confer on the cells an increased tolerance to #antibiotics."

Four good things happened at work today. Almost unheard of.

Two great bits of new data. #cilia #Golgi #ExtracellularMatrix
One modified piece of equipment that means we can do some cool new experiments.
And I got some code to run a mathematical model given to us by a collaborator. New software. Step learning curve.

Worth remembering days like these. They do still happen!

Through the eyes of an #osteocyte. In #bone, this is what the environment of partially embedded osteocytes (osteoblastic–osteocytes) is like!

Scanning electron microscopy has been used to observe the orientation of mineral platelets in relation to osteoblastic–osteocyte lacunae on the surface of deproteinized trabecular bone in adult sheep.

Great review from Nicola Stevenson. Part of our team in Biochemistry at the U of Bristol researching #Golgi #cilia and #extracellularmatrix

https://journals.biologists.com/bio/article/12/2/bio059719/287059/The-factory-the-antenna-and-the-scaffold-the-three

Part of Biology Open's series of Future Leader Reviews. @BiologyOpen

Nikki is making great progress on our @BBSRC sLoLa.
This review includes some thoughts beyond her current work towards more integration with cilia biology.

#introduction:
We are a new cell systems biology team at the #UniversityOfManchester #UoM.
We study #CellAdhesion #networks in health and disease, especially #cancer.
Fascinated by how adhesion proteins help #cells function in so many ways!
