This looks absolutely fantastic, two great labs @bill-lab.bsky.social & @immunobladder.bsky.social with great stories about intracellular uropathogens in urinary tract infection! A hot topic for sure. I'll be virtually there! #UTI #UTISky

Uropathogenic #Ecoli #UPEC proliferate as round coccoid cells during intracellular infection; @alaskapokhrel.bsky.social @bill-lab.bsky.social &co show that accelerated division via FtsZ constriction drives this, the coccobacillus form persisting for generations @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4gdx97i
Divisome dynamics in intracellular UPEC cells during infection. Left: Representative confocal image of intracellular UTI89 expressing a division marker (FtsZ-mCitrine; pseudo coloured green) with mCherry (pseudo coloured magenta) as cytoplasmic marker, bladder cell membranes shown in blue (CellBrite Steady Membrane 405) and nuclei shown in gold (NucSpot Live Cell 650). Right: Still images of a time-lapse sequence showing FtsZ-mCitrine (pseudo coloured green) driven coccobacilli divisions imaged using HiLo illumination.

I am somehow for the first time ever reviewing for PNAS and their reviewer instructions include this BANGER of a line: "The purpose of peer review is not to demonstrate proficiency in identifying flaws" Print it in eleventy point font and hang it from the hillside. Scream it from the rooftops.

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 MinD is famously known for positioning FtsZ at mid-cell in bacteria In our study, myself and @iduggin.bsky.social found that MinD homologues in Haloferax volcanii influence the localisation of CetZ1, a homologue of FtsZ and tubulin #Archaeasky #Microsky
