Rob Edwards and Bas Dutilh describe the genesis and evolution of their paper describing the global phylogeography of crAssphage.

The first vaccination approach based on mixing whole inactivated virus with whole inactivated bacteria to enhance pathogen-specific immunity.

5 years ago we decided to try to work out how the parasite load we see in human malaria patients is determined by parasite multiplication rate, parasite growth inhibition by the host response, and duration of infection. The big problem was that in humans with naturally acquired malaria we cannot measure any of these directly. Our attempts to solve the problem took us back in time to data generated almost 100 years ago, then forwards to discover novel mechanisms of host defense against malaria.

Everyone following Formula 1 knows that securing the pole position is not simple. The same is true for many proteins in rod-shaped bacteria that localize to the cell poles to function properly. I study how proteins that are important for motility in Myxococcus xanthus become localized to the cell poles.
