How do Pf phages dampen innate immunity to LPS within human cells? We report that phages carry outer membrane vesicles and dsRNA that trigger TLR3 and suppress inflammatory responses to LPS. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…… Congrats to Nina Pennetzdorfer, Medeea Popescu and the team

I always knew since my time in the @runtumblerun lab that Mg2 is the key to everything that I care about. This proves it yet again!

Excited to share our latest study on fungal-bacterial competition! What drives their competition and how does it impact microbial evolution? We found Mg2 is the key. Grateful for my mentors’ support! (1/11) @HarmitMalik @ajai_dandekar @thehoganlab biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Excited to share our work using phages to identify bacterial pathogens in sepsis. Because phages are highly specific for their bacterial hosts, they offer strain-level resolution that could enhance cell free DNA diagnostics
