Alejandro Vasquez-Rifo, PhD, & Victor Ambros, PhD, discovered certain strains of the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa have the ability to disable & degrade the ribosome in host cells. Read how this mechanism could be used to target tumor cells: bit.ly/3qVFDG7 @avasquezr

When nematodes are infected by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterial virulence mechanism leads to the cleavage of host ribosomal RNAs at the decoding center, thereby shutting down translation @avasquezr @emi_aeruginosa #PLOSBiology plos.io/3mFgBbo
