Pheaturing #phage work from @UMBCPhageHunter @ivanerill @EliaMascolo & team as well as the @JeremyJBarr lab on the #TWiV #podcast plus a shoutout to @dsgoodsell #sciart
TWiV 1067: Heads or tails, you win a phage lunch 〰️ On this all-bacteriophage episode, TWiV explains the ‘vampire phage,’ and how mammalian cells internalize phage particles and utilize them to enhance cell growth and survival. 📺 bit.ly/46GIGWa

What's better for Halloween than a vampire story! We're excited to showcase for the first time, the life cycle of an extracellular #predator that drains the contents out of its prey through the S-layer ! RT and feedback are appreciated! (1/5)

Check out this article about our latest @UMBC -led discovery.
What #Halloween science story could be better than a #vampire virus that bites its prey-viruses in the neck?
Thanks to all co-authors from
@UMBCBiology @UMBCCNMS @UABBarcelona @WUSTL for a fun and exciting work

Just in time for a spooky #Halloween . It's great to see this story by Tagide deCarvalho and @EliaMascolo in print. Click on the link to see a virus preying on another virus by latching onto its neck, Dracula-style.

Very happy to see this beautiful work led by the @ucsc Fitnat lab published #PLOSPathogens! Wonderful detective work on the role of V. cholerae TCS in virulence by @GiordanKitts, with comparative genomics analyses by @UMBCBiology Isaac Chaudry @ErillLab

Happy to see the latest work by Miquel Sanchez-Osuna with the @ErillLab published in @antibioticsmdpi . Amazing how simple computational approaches can yield powerful insights into the spread of #resistance to #antibiotics . Check it out! mdpi.com/2106794 .

Proud to see our work on #phages highjacking #cell sensing machinery finally out. Excellent work by @EliaMascolo describing how pilitropic phages can listen in on cell development conversations, potentially maximizing their yield in 'lytic deferment'.

Lytic deferment from @EliaMascolo neat idea and cool project from lab to computer and back again. #Phages2022

Interested in the twisted ways phages exploit cell machinery? Come listen to @EliaMascolo (@UMBCBiology) talk at the 2022 Molecular Genetics of Bacteria and Phages Meeting about how phages leverage cellular transduction systems in #caulobacter and related bacteria 🦠
