Co-option of an ancestral peptidase controls developmental patterning in multicellular cyanobacteria
Developmental biology
How do simple cells make complex patterns? We discovered a key piece in cyanobacteriaβan ancient enzyme repurposed to activate a pattern-forming signal. A conserved signaling strategy, showing how nature reuses tools to build multicellularity. www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

From Yemen to Mayotte, the spread of a highly drug-resistant cholera strain
Scientists from the National Reference Center for Vibrios and Cholera at the Institut Pasteur, in collaboration with the Centre hospitalier de Mayotte, have revealed the spread of a highly drug-resist...
A recent study by the Institut Pasteur highlights the emergence of a cholera strain resistant to 10 antibiotics, including key treatments azithromycin and ciprofloxacin. This study demonstrates the need to strengthen global surveillance of the cholera agent. ππ¬ #cholera #AntibioticResistance
