Exciting new paper in @PLOSBiology — we show that plasmids use translational global regulators to rewire host cells including expression of key ecological traits, like metabolism and motility, whilst also boosting horizontal transmission of the plasmid
This was a big collaborative effort with colleagues at John Innes Centre, Birmingham, Sheffield & Liverpool

When it gets hot, Polycomb comes to the rescue... "Warm temperature-triggered developmental reprogramming requires VIL1-mediated genome-wide H3K27me3 accumulation in Arabidopsis" https://journals.biologists.com/dev/article-abstract/doi/10.1242/dev.201343/286988/Warm-temperature-triggered-developmental/
'A team of Israeli contractors who claim to have manipulated more than 30 elections around the world using hacking, sabotage and automated disinformation on social media has been exposed in a new investigation.'
"Early studies of iron-binding proteins in insects suggested that insects and mammals have surprisingly different mechanisms of iron homeostasis, including different primary mechanisms for exporting iron from cells and for transporting iron from one cell to another, and subsequent studies have continued to support this view."

After seeing pretty compelling evidence that #musk is forcing you to see his illuminated thoughts either you like it or not (and #Twitter engineers to tweak the system to do so), I am really wondering why is anyone still interested in a platform that so obviously feeds you what *he* wants you to see... #scaryshit
@RWerpachowski@mastodon.green This one is an oldie but a goldie. I hate powerpoint with the fire of a thousand suns.

Fine, maybe not *all*
“It would be foolish to blame consultancies for all the problems that advanced capitalism has created,” state Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington in their conclusion. Nevertheless, the authors of The Big Con blame consultancies for an awful lot, starting with: “The pristine PowerPoints, copy-and-pasted formulas for strategy and often ineffective tools that many consultancies employ.”

My latest Clinical Pipeline column for #NatureMedicine is out today, a look at Moderna's RNA vaccine for RSV & a survey of what's, well, in the pipeline, for RSV immunotherapies, including vaccines and monoclonals.

Plasmids manipulate host cells to their benefit. @Catriona1392 @BrockhurstLab &co describe a #plasmid-borne translational regulator that subverts ecological traits in #bacteria, inducing community organization & promoting plasmid transmission #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3I4NES6
