Slings & arrows: sRNAs mediate intragenomic competition Chris Waters highlight work of Papenfortlab showing V. cholerae prophage VP882 modulates host functions via sRNAs. Alternatively, host sRNAs inhibit VP882 lytic phase by regulating phage genes cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Small RNAs direct attack & defense. VP882 phage activation promotes sRNA base pairing w/V.cholerae or phage transcripts via Hfq. Phage&host-encoded sRNAs regulate expression @ post-transcriptional level to enhance or inhibit phage replication Papenfortlab cell.com/cell-host-micr…

New Balance of the Microverse friend-chip goals unlocked!  Our review, penned by Raquel Alonso-Román on organ-on-chip models and their diverse applications, including microbial pathogenicity 🤗, is out now in Nature Microbiology. rdcu.be/dCnCq

My review is finally out!
We wrote about how organ-on-chip models help fight against infections🥊🦠In this paper you'll find answers to why, what, and how, plus lots of examples on what researchers have already done 🧐
