S-acylation and lipid exchange at the ER-Golgi membrane contact sites regulate pathogen entry in human cells
Cells have evolved endocytic pathways to internalize different molecules, to regulate intra-cellular communication and their interaction with external environment. Pathogens have co-evolved with cells to exploit these processes for infections. In particula ...
EPFL2024Folding and Endocytosis of Anthrax Toxin Receptors
Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of the infectious disease anthrax. The disease is caused after taking up the spores by either inhalation, ingestion or through skin lesion. They then germinate inside the body and start secreting the tripartite ant ...
