For years scientists have puzzled over why the intracellular pathogen Salmonella is able to survive — and thrive — in human and animal tissues, even within otherwise hostile cells that are part of the ...

The Purdue University researcher is one of the first to examine the molecular processes that underlie infection by soil microbes. Shawna was an editor at The Scientist from 2017 through 2022. She ...

As a result, there is no threshold density for pathogen invasion if transmission is frequency dependent. In theory, such pathogens can persist at very low host densities. Empirical work on mice ...

"Pathogens such as bacteria infect cells and they change the metabolism or the behavior of the cell they are infecting to prepare for their invasion," said Capelluto, an affiliate with the Fralin ...

prime it to recognize and quickly eliminate the pathogen's harmful counterpart, should it ever invade the body. This feature lets you create six vaccines in your own virtual laboratory ...

Researchers have unveiled a novel immune mechanism by which tandem kinases combat pathogen invasion: an atypical NLR protein, WTN1 (Wheat Tandem NBD 1), partners with the tandem kinase WTK3 to ...

Current efforts to identify the invading pathogens are successful in approximately ... are all at increased risk of microbial invasion, and require rapid recognition and response programs.

Team from the University of Tübingen and the German Center for Infection Research discovers a substance that inhibits signaling pathways of pathogens as they invade a cell ...

prime it to recognize and quickly eliminate the innocuous pathogen's harmful counterpart, should it ever invade the body. This feature lets you create six vaccines in your own virtual laboratory ...
