Congrats to my better half @legionella.bsky.social and his lab and collaborators on this cool discovery! TLDR, they've identified and re-animated a bacteriophage of Legionella pneumophila, a bacteria long thought to not be susceptible to phage attack. Check it out! 🦠

This is a lovely piece about the 2024 Nobel Prize to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, written by Bruce Wightman, the first author of one of the prize-winning papers. It emphasizes the importance of fundamental research and the beauty of heterochronic genes. #Celegans #devbio 🧪🧬 doi.org/10.1242/dmm....

It's about time: the heterochronic background for the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

Summary: The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded for the discovery of miRNAs; the groundwork was laid by investigating the timing of developmental events in nematodes.
