In plant, this is achieved by the "rosettes" formed of cellulose synthases attached to a cytoskeletal scaffold Figure from: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-03167-708 Jan 2024 11:59 +0000at://did:plc:btdivq5qbfkw4rhxhseti3ew/app.bsky.feed.post/3kihrrthxi622https://bsky.app/profile/thibgsana.bsky.social/post/3kfujuoxl7k24Ever wondered how Pseudomonas aeruginosa "choose" between planktonic and biofilm lifestyles, at the molecular level? 🦠🔬🧐 #CryoEM Fantastic team work from the @krastevalab.bsky.social (and yes, I'm biased 😊) See the paper here: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.231227612006 Dec 2023 09:27 +0000at://did:plc:btdivq5qbfkw4rhxhseti3ew/app.bsky.feed.post/3kfujuoxl7k24https://bsky.app/profile/thibgsana.bsky.social/post/3keu3ssn36k2sQuite an interesting work showing that a bacterial pathogen can actively stimulate itching, to induce scratching and further skin-damage 😵‍💫 https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)01164-923 Nov 2023 11:50 +0000at://did:plc:btdivq5qbfkw4rhxhseti3ew/app.bsky.feed.post/3keu3ssn36k2s
