Adhesion and host cell modulation: critical pathogenicity determinants of Bartonella henselae [PDF]

, 2011
Bartonella henselae, the agent of cat scratch disease and the vasculoproliferative disorders bacillary angiomatosis and peliosis hepatis, contains to date two groups of described pathogenicity factors: adhesins and type IV secretion systems.

Differentiation Syndrome and Sweet Syndrome‐Like Overlap Following Venetoclax–Azacytidine and G‐CSF Therapy

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Differentiation syndrome (DS) and Sweet syndrome (SS) are inflammatory complications mediated by cytokine dysregulation, classically associated with therapies that promote myeloid differentiation or cytokine release. While DS has been primarily linked to all‐trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and IDH inhibitors, recent evidence suggests that ...

The secretory protein COA1 enables Metarhizium robertsii to evade insect immune recognition during cuticle penetration

Communications Biology
The interplay between the insect immune system and entomopathogenic fungi during cuticle penetration is not yet fully understood. Here, we show that a secretory protein COA1 (coat of appressorium 1) from Metarhizium robertsii, an entomopathogenic fungus ...

Dosage and dose schedule screening of drug combinations in agent-based models reveals hidden synergies

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
The fungus Candida albicans is the most common causative agent of human fungal infections and better drugs or drug combination strategies are urgently needed. Here, we present an agent-based model of the interplay of C.

Defects in the Ferroxidase That Participates in the Reductive Iron Assimilation System Results in Hypervirulence in Botrytis Cinerea

mBio, 2020
The plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea is responsible for gray-mold disease, which infects a wide variety of species. The outcome of this host-pathogen interaction, a result of the interplay between plant defense and fungal virulence pathways, can be ...

Plants, people and their shared heritage: A comparative medicinal and wild food ethnobotany of Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians living in the Gjirokaster area, southern Albania

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional knowledge about wild plants connects people to nature and sustains both cultural identity and biodiversity. This study explores how cultural exchange among Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians in southern Albania shapes the use and naming of medicinal and food plants.

Genome hyperevolution and the success of a parasite [PDF]

, 2012
The strategy of antigenic variation is to present a constantly changing population phenotype that enhances parasite transmission, through evasion of immunity arising within, or existing between, host animals.

Nitric Oxide Participates in the Complex Interplay of Defense-Related Signaling Pathways Controlling Disease Resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Arabidopsis thaliana

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2010
Studies of the interaction between Arabidopsis thaliana and the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum have been hampered by the extreme susceptibility of this model plant to the fungus.
