Immunological Interactions Between Gammadelta T Cells and West Nile Virus in the Infected Host. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Between mosquitoes and birds, West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic flavivirus, an arthropod‐borne pathogen involved in an enzootic cycle. Additionally, it can infect both people and horses, leading to severe illness. Since 1999, WNV has spread across North and South America, including Mexico and the Caribbean.

Gut Microbial Variations Associated With Proton Pump Inhibitor Use in the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Proton pump inhibitors (PPI), used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, are associated with alterations in the gut microbiome. However, this is understudied in Puerto Ricans who have unique lifestyle characteristics. Puerto Ricans, including participants of the Boston‐Puerto Rican Health Study (BPRHS), report high PPI use.

MEP pathway products allosterically promote monomerization of deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase to feedback-regulate their supply [PDF]
Isoprenoids are a very large and diverse family of metabolites required by all living organisms. All isoprenoids derive from the double-bond isomers isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which are produced by the ...

Simultaneous Disruption of Two DNA Polymerases, Pol eta and Pol zeta, in Avian DT40 Cells Unmasks the Role of Pol eta in Cellular Response to Various DNA Lesions [PDF]
Replicative DNA polymerases are frequently stalled by DNA lesions. The resulting replication blockage is released by homologous recombination (HR) and translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). TLS employs specialized TLS polymerases to bypass DNA lesions.
