Some of these proteins have kinase, phosphatase, or actin-binding activity, and once in the epithelial cell cytosol, they alter host cell signaling pathways that promote changes in the cytoskeleton, ...

The role of fibronectin in the invasion of INT407 cells by E. sakazakii was analyzed by pretreating the monolayers with rabbit anti-human fibronectin serum (Biomeda) at 37°C for 30 min ...

Analyzing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique from Würzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods. Not all individuals in a population of ...

cells in the gut transformed into T follicular helper cells inside Peyer's patches, and that the segmented filamentous bacteria enhanced the cell reprogramming process. "The key is that T-cell ...

Analyzing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique from Würzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods.

and induced by typically harmless microbes called segmented filamentous bacteria, are enriched with T FH 17 cells. More specifically, fate-mapping mouse models showed that the hybrid cells derived ...

And that's just the "tip of the iceberg," he says. Wolbachia is a parasitic bacteria that lives inside insect cells. It infects at least two out of every five insect species. Since insects ...

have discovered previously unknown molecular mechanisms that help a type of food-borne bacteria recognize host cells and initiate infection on the cell surface, according to a recent study ...

Using spinning-disk confocal microscopy, the team followed cells in V. cholerae biofilms as they moved, disassembled and dispersed. The real-time, single-cell imaging revealed that the bacteria ...

9. No escaping them: Your body has 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells. 10. Can’t catch them, either. Whipping their tails, E. coli can travel 25 times their own length in 1 second, ...

These play key roles in metabolism, red blood cell production ... in onion could inhibit the growth of several strains of bacteria, including Helicobacter pylori, which is associated with stomach ...
