If watching this doesn't make you want to learn about innate immunity nothing will (said by someone that knows very little about it!)
Annual killifish make neutrophils before almost every other cell type, even before gastrulation. Neutrophils usually arise from the lateral plate mesoderm (forming in cyan), but in killifish they are already patrolling around the embryo in gold. tinyurl.com/killiphil

Findings show a small RNA in the cholera bacterium influencing Vibrio cholerae colonization of the gut. Human-associated variants regulate 85% of genes tied to virulence and intestinal colonization, supporting the need for improved outbreak surveillance. ow.ly/cF2A50YZG6Q

Delighted to see our work recently published in @NatureComms!
In our article we describe a small RNA with a unique modular structure that shapes the evolution of the cholera pathogen
