Control of virulence gene transcription by indirect readout in Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
(2017)Indirect readout mechanisms of transcription control rely on the recognition of DNA shape by transcription factors (TFs). TFs may also employ a direct readout mechanism that involves the reading of the base sequence in the ... -
Establishing Boundaries: The Relationship That Exists between Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Gut-Dwelling Bacteria.
(2019)The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a highly complex organ in which various dynamic physiological processes are tightly coordinated while interacting with a complex community of microorganisms. Within the GI tract, ... -
Guardians of the Cell: Effector-Triggered Immunity Steers Mammalian Immune Defense
(2019)The mammalian innate immune system deals with invading pathogens and stress by activating pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) in the host. Initially proposed to be triggered by the discrimination of defined molecular ... -
An IoT Approach for Monitoring UV Disinfection Robots
(2021)The use of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) technology as a means of disinfecting hospitals and other frontline settings has increased significantly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the science of ... -
Malaria parasites both repress host CXCL10 and use it as a cue for growth acceleration
(2021)Pathogens are thought to use host molecular cues to control when to initiate life-cycle transitions, but these signals are mostly unknown, particularly for the parasitic disease malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. ...
