The older I get the more I realise, maturity is simply becoming more honest with yourself. If you want to rest, you rest. If you want to work, you work. You don’t say yes, when you want to say no. You don’t do things that drain you. You stop hanging out with people who you have to perform for. You fall in love with the simple, ordinary things that your heart actually craves for. Simplicity and peace become your highest priority. That’s all maturity is about.

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @DjenetBousbaine led the charge... @Nature 1/55

The good idea comes when one person feels comfortable enough to say something that might make them look stupid and their friend is open enough to recognize its potential.

This collaboration work started 3 years ago and was mainly carried out by a master student Ling Liu, who never knew how to culture bacteria at that time.

All the tools developed in this study was shared via the WeKwikgene (wekwikgene.wllsb.edu.cn/).
Additionally, we evaluate promoters with variable strengths with a luciferase-based reporter system in F. nucleatum, providing valuable insights for future gene editing studies in bacterium and contributing to our understanding of its pathogenesis.
By exploring the native plasmids from F. nucleatum, we identified new backbones for construction of shuttle vectors and established a dual-plasmid system for the first time, offering new avenues for genetic manipulation in this bacterium.
The conjugation-based DNA delivery to F. nucleatum was also established, and this strategy can bypass the requirement of MTase methylations.
