10/11 In an exciting final twist, we can leverage this conversation between host hormones and bacteria for #therapeutics to decrease S. aureus virulence, with an enantiomer of testosterone, inhibiting expression of PSMs, red blood cell hemolysis and neutrophil killing.

9/11…testosterone cannot activate strains that lack AgrCA. Together, our findings illuminate a molecular conversation between S. aureus and the host through the sensing of testosterone and DHT.

2/11 S. aureus is the most common cause of skin infections, yet it rarely colonizes healthy skin. During inflammation, like #atopicdermatitis and #eczema S. aureus begins to dominate. Infections are also more common in men. Our lab showed in 2021@PNASNews that…

Cannot wait to see my science brother @Mucus_Man! and chat about his cover story article in Cell Host & Microbe. Fingers crossed for no more global pandemics, so our paths can cross more often! #Hooperkids #sciencefamily
🚨🚨I'm proud to present our lab's first peer-reviewed paper, out at @cellhostmicrobe🥳. We started out by asking a basic question about mucus secretion, and discovered something surprising about genetic risk to inflammatory bowel diseases (#IBD). A🧵/1 cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

Late tweet reflection on @KizzyPhD talk last week @UTSWNews. Amazing to hear the story of the #covidvaccine that didn’t exist a year ago and already is in my body. Uplifting to see a scientist, younger than me, blazing a bright bold and joyous trail.
