Recent evidence established that the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus causing tuberculosis (TB), is coated by an α-glucan-containing capsule that has been implicated in persistence in a mouse infection model. As one of three... Read More about Synthesis of α-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2.

New tools are required to address the challenge of relating plant hormone levels, hormone responses, wall biochemistry and wall mechanical properties to organ-scale growth. Current vertex-based models (applied in other contexts) can be unsuitable for... Read More about Vertex-element models for anisotropic growth of elongated plant organs.

BACKGROUND

Signal Regulatory Protein γ (SIRPγ) is a member of a closely related family of three cell surface receptors implicated in modulating immune/inflammatory responses. SIRPγ is expressed on T lymphocytes where it appears to be involved in t... Read More about Crystal structure of signal regulatory protein gamma (SIRPγ) in complex with an antibody Fab fragment.

Transient exposure to low levels of insecticide affects metabolic networks of honeybee larvae (2013)
Journal Article
Derecka, K., Blythe, M. J., Malla, S., Genereux, D. P., Guffanti, A., Pavan, P., Moles, A., Snart, C., Ryder, T., Ortori, C. A., Barrett, D. A., Schuster, E., & Stöger, R. (2013). Transient exposure to low levels of insecticide affects metabolic networks of honeybee larvae. PLoS ONE, 8(7), Article e68191. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0068191

The survival of a species depends on its capacity to adjust to changing environmental conditions, and new stressors. Such new, anthropogenic stressors include the neonicotinoid class of crop-protecting agents, which have been implicated in the popula...
