Many bacteriophages can modulate host transcription. Here, the authors uncover the anti-termination mechanism of phage satellite P4 protein, Psu. Psu dimers clamp two open rings of the termination ...
By identifying key interactions between this common oral bacterium and host cells, the research has unveiled important metabolic pathways and mechanisms that may serve as potential therapeutic ...
thus demonstrating that PTPN2 deficiency increases ACE2 expression and viral entry through a STAT1-dependent mechanism. STAT1/3 are PTPN2 substrates that are directly dephosphorylated by this ...
A multifactorial approach should be used to account for all the factors involved-that is, the internal and external risk factors as well as the inciting event (the injury mechanism). Although such ...
An AI-based learning model is applied to low-abundance human oral bacteria and identifies antimicrobial peptides with efficacy against multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Rudalska et al ...
