Domesticar bacterias puede ayudar a tratar enfermedades de la piel -
Investigadores de MELIS-UPF han desarrollado un nuevo set de herramientas genรฉticas que modifican la bacteria C. acnes para combatir los problemas cutรกneos.
El equipo de @marcguellc.bsky.socialย (MELIS-@upf.edu) desarrolla un kit para que la bacteria C. acnes produzca antioxidantes para combatir problemas cutรกneos respondiendo a estrรฉs oxidativo causado por la radiaciรณn UV.
Los coautores son @gnevot.xyzย y Javier Santos.

Domesticating bacteria can help treat skin diseases - Elยทlipse
Researchers at MELIS-UPF have developed a new set of genetic tools that modify C. acnes bacteria to combat skin problems.
@marcguellc.bsky.social's team at MELIS-@upf.edu has designed a kit of eleven genetic tools for C. acnes to secrete therapeutic compounds to combat skin problems.
๐ฐIt has been reported in @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social with @gnevot.xyz and Javier Santos as first co-authors.

@synbio4allafrica.bsky.social 's new project tries to explore a new realm at the intersection of plant synbio and biodiversity.
With this small grant, we aim to uncover a new plant genome with students attending the course!

Synthetic biology in focus: Policy issues and opportunities in engineering life
#SyntheticBiology can transform industries and health, boost economies, and tackle societal challenges.
Our new paper synthesises findings of over 60 experts who met regularly in 2023-24 to explore opportunities, challenges, and policy needs.

RefSeq's CheckM results for GCF_047361035.1, showing 97.99% completeness and 0.39% contamination.
A quick reminder: if CheckM reports an assembly as <100% complete and >0% contaminated, that doesn't necessarily mean it's incomplete or contaminated. Here are RefSeq's CheckM results for a genome I'm confident is 100% complete and 0% contaminated.

SkinDev, a synthetic biology project to treat dermatitis - Elยทlipse
This project to modify skin bacteria, coordinated by Marc Gรผell's lab at MELIS-UPF, has just started. We talk to Javier Santos, postdoc in the group.
Excited to see this projecte developing so greatly! We published an interview with Javier Santos a couple of years ago about the #skindev kick-off ellipse.prbb.org/skindev-a-sy... and are very proud and happy to see how far it's gone! Congrats @gnevot.xyz and all those involved!

If you reached until here I guess you are as excited about C. acnes as we are! All our plasmids are available in @addgene.bsky.social and @sevaplasmids.bsky.social for you to play. We are also happy to collaborate to advance C. acnes! All the info in our paper๐
