MIT researchers have found that the pigments responsible for the blue-green stain of the mucus that clogs the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are primarily signaling molecules that allow large clusters of the opportunistic infection agent, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to organize themselves into structured communities. The research team, led by Dianne K. Newman, the John and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Biology and Geobiology, will report the findings on Tuesday. (source: web.mit.edu)
