This nasty pathogen infects the nuclei of mussels, multiplies to >80000 cells, swelling nuclei to >50 times their size. Where does its nutrition come from? How does it avoid apoptosis? Read our paper, just out! https://t.co/s6qZGnXWep

Join @echinoclub this month to hear about developmental symbioses in sea urchins. I'll be focusing on how an intra-kingdom heist enhances offspring fitness.
