Many bacteria produce extracellular and surface-associated components such as membrane
vesicles (MVs), extracellular DNA and moonlighting cytosolic proteins for which the …

Gram‐negative bacterial peptidoglycan is specifically recognized by the host intracellular
sensor NOD1, resulting in the generation of innate immune responses. Although epithelial …

Erythrocyte invasion by the merozoite is an obligatory stage in Plasmodium parasite infection
and essential to malaria disease progression. Attempts to study this process have been …

Twitching motility-mediated biofilm expansion is a complex, multicellular behavior that
enables the active colonization of surfaces by many species of bacteria. In this study we have …

FtsZ is a tubulin-like GTPase that is the major cytoskeletal protein in bacterial cell division. It
polymerizes into a ring, called the Z ring, at the division site and acts as a scaffold to recruit …

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are extracellular sacs containing biologically
active products, such as proteins, cell wall components and toxins. OMVs are reported to …

Chronic wounds are a major global health problem. Their management is difficult and costly,
and the development of antibiotic resistance by both planktonic and biofilm-associated …

In vertebrates, two condensin complexes exist, condensin I and condensin II, which have
differing but unresolved roles in organizing mitotic chromosomes. To dissect accurately the role …

Background. Throughout Asia, there is an unprecedented link between cholangiocarcinoma
and infection with the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini. Multiple processes, including chronic …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa airway infection is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in
cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Various in vitro models have been developed to study P. …
