Environmental toxicity influences disease spread in consumer population [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The study of infectious disease has been of interest to ecologists since long. The initiation of epidemic and the long term disease dynamics are largely influenced by the nature of the underlying consumer (host)-resource dynamics. Ecological traits of such systems may be often modulated by toxins released in the environment due to ongoing anthropogenic

Exploring the functional domain and the target of the tetanus toxin light chain in neurohypophysial terminals [PDF]
, 1994 The tetanus toxin light chain blocks calcium induced vasopressin release from neurohypophysial nerve terminals. Here we show that histidine residue 233 within the putative zinc binding motif of the tetanus toxin light chain is essential for the ...

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) for body image in dermatology: A systematic review
Skin Health and Disease, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 SIGNIFICANCE: Many dermatological conditions can have a detrimental impact on patients' perception of their body image and can contribute to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder. A systematic review was performed and identified six PROMs within this context.

Modeling sRNA-regulated Plasmid Maintenance [PDF]
, 2016 We study a theoretical model for the toxin-antitoxin (hok/sok) mechanism for plasmid maintenance in bacteria. Toxin-antitoxin systems enforce the maintenance of a plasmid through post-segregational killing of cells that have lost the plasmid. Key to their function is the tight regulation of expression of a protein toxin by an sRNA antitoxin.

Chemical warfare and survival strategies in bacterial range expansions [PDF]
J. R. Soc. Interface 11, 20140172 (2014), 2014 Dispersal of species is a fundamental ecological process in the evolution and maintenance of biodiversity. Limited control over ecological parameters has hindered progress in understanding of what enables species to colonise new area, as well as the importance of inter-species interactions.

Mass Spectrometric Detection of Bacterial Protein Toxins and Their Enzymatic Activity
Toxins, 2015 Mass spectrometry has recently become a powerful technique for bacterial identification. Mass spectrometry approaches generally rely upon introduction of the bacteria into a matrix-assisted laser-desorption time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer ...
