Antibiotic resistance is a public health crisis. But viruses called phages have been solving this problem for millennia. New research in @Nature reveals how 3 different phages attack the same weak spot—a protein called MurJt—potentially leading to a new class of antibiotics.🧵

This is hilarious! Good looking guy!
Each year at the NAS annual meeting, recently elected #NASmembers are inducted into the Academy during a Presentation Ceremony where they sign the "Registry of Membership." Register now to watch the webcast of this special tradition on April 26: ow.ly/yGzu50Rfgwa #NAS161

New research in Science reveals how a three-protein complex allows bacteriophages to kill and lyse host cells. The results may be useful in developing effective phage therapeutics.

Fantastic performance from the Boss and the E Street band in Vienna yesterday. And amazing to bump there into Bill Clemons @clemonslab - we both used to be in MRC LMB some 25 years ago. Turns out his brother plays in the band!

Today's #shoutout to #womenInSTEM goes to @annakarenorta & @naditasofia @clemonslab for their elegant & awesome @Science paper on #antibiotic escape mechanisms of #phage ΦX174. Thread below!
We are absolutely thrilled to finally share our new structure from @clemonslab of escape mechanism of the smallest phages (φX174) by breaching the peptidoglycan layer, now out in Science! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
🧵 In this thread, I'll give you a sneak peek of the YES complex👇🏼
