Enteric infection induces Lark-mediated intron retention at the 5 ' end of Drosophila genes

Bart Deplancke, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Michael Vincent Frochaux, Dani Osman, Tommaso Andreani

Background RNA splicing is a key post-transcriptional mechanism that generates protein diversity and contributes to the fine-tuning of gene expression, which may facilitate adaptation to environmental challenges. Here, we employ a systems approach to study ...

Innovative Tools and in vivo Methods for Tuberculosis Drug Discovery and Development

Raphael Christopher Sommer

Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to a single infectious agent, claiming 1.6 million human lives and causing >10 million new cases in 2017 alone, mostly in low-income regions. The intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculos ...

White Paper on the Application of Molecular, Spectroscopic, and Other Novel Methods to Monitor Pathogens for Potable Reuse

Tamar Kohn, Krista Rule Wigginton, Brian Pecson

Direct potable reuse (DPR) is gaining interest in water-scarce and water-conscious regions of the world as a technology capable of treating domestic wastewater to potable water standards. Because wastewater is the source water of such treatment schemes, th ...

Nanomechanical sensor applied to blood culture pellets: a fast approach to determine the antibiotic susceptibility against agents of bloodstream infections

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Petar Stupar

Objectives: The management of bloodstream infection, a life-threatening disease, largely relies on early detection of infecting microorganisms and accurate determination of their antibiotic susceptibility to reduce both mortality and morbidity. Recently we ...

Role of myeloid cells in mediating protection against parasitic helminth larvae

Beatrice Volpe

Helminth infections affect around one fourth of the world population living in the poorest regions of our planet. Helminths mainly cause debilitating chronic effects on health, development and nutritional status of infected people. The development of a vac ...

Infectious Disease Containment Based on a Wireless Sensor System

Marcel Salathé, Xiao Sun

Infectious diseases pose a serious threat to public health due to its high infectivity and potentially high mortality. One of the most effective ways to protect people from being infected by these diseases is through vaccination. However, due to various re ...

XacFhaB adhesin, an important Xanthomonas citri ssp citri virulence factor, is recognized as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern

Luciano Andres Abriata

Adhesion to host tissue is one of the key steps of the bacterial pathogenic process. Xanthomonas citri ssp. citri possesses a non-fimbrial adhesin protein, XacFhaB, required for bacterial attachment, which we have previously demonstrated to be an important ...

Effects of early and intensive neuro-rehabilitative treatment on muscle synergies in acute post-stroke patients: a pilot study

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: After a stroke, patients show significant modifications of neural control of movement, such as abnormal muscle co-activation, and reduced selectivity and modulation of muscle activity. Nonetheless, results reported in literature do not allow to ...

The biofilm granulation mechanisms depend on the predominant populations involved

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Samuel Lochmatter

The novel aerobic granular sludge technology is attractive for intensified biological nutrient removal from wastewater. This process is based on self-granulated flocs forming fast-settling mobile biofilms with a gel-like consistence, called “granules”. Mec ...
