Macrophages inhibit Aspergillus fumigatus germination and neutrophil-mediated fungal killing. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 In immunocompromised individuals, Aspergillus fumigatus causes invasive fungal disease that is often difficult to treat. Exactly how immune mechanisms control A. fumigatus in immunocompetent individuals remains unclear. Here, we use transparent zebrafish

Killing spinor-valued forms and the cone construction [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 On a pseudo-Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ we introduce a system of partial differential Killing type equations for spinor-valued differential forms, and study their basic properties. We discuss the relationship between solutions of Killing equations on $\mathcal{M}$ and parallel fields on the metric cone over $\mathcal{M}$ for spinor-valued forms.

Killing(-Yano) Tensors in String Theory [PDF]
, 2015 We construct the Killing(-Yano) tensors for a large class of charged black holes in higher dimensions and study general properties of such tensors, in particular, their behavior under string dualities.

Einstein warped product spaces on Lie groups
Cubo, 2022 We consider a compact Lie group with bi-invariant metric, coming from the Killing form. In this paper, we study Einstein warped product space, $M = M_1 \times_{f_1} M_2$ for the cases, $(i)$ $M_1$ is a Lie group $(ii)$ $M_2$ is a Lie group and $(iii ...

To Kill But Not Be Killed: Controlling the Activity of Mammalian Pore-Forming Proteins [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Pore-forming proteins (PFPs) are present in all domains of life, and play an important role in host-pathogen warfare and in the elimination of cancers. They can be employed to deliver specific effectors across membranes, to disrupt membrane integrity interfering with cell homeostasis, and to lyse membranes either destroying intracellular organelles or ...

TCFHs, hidden symmetries and type II theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We present the twisted covariant form hierarchies (TCFH) of type IIA and IIB 10-dimensional supergravities and show that all form bilinears of supersymmetric backgrounds satisfy the conformal Killing-Yano equation with respect to a TCFH connection.

A note on $2$-plectic vector spaces [PDF]
Journal of Mahani Mathematical Research, 2023 Among the $2$-plectic structures on vector spaces, the canonical ones and the $2$-plectic structures induced by the Killing form on semisimple Lie algebras are more interesting.

TCFHs and hidden symmetries of type IIA AdS backgrounds
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We present the twisted covariant form hierarchies (TCFHs) of warped (massive) IIA AdS backgrounds. As a consequence we demonstrate that all Killing spinor form bilinears satisfy a generalisation of the conformal Killing-Yano equation with respect to the ...

Killing-Yano forms and Killing tensors on a warped space [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2016 We formulate several criteria under which the symmetries associated with the Killing and Killing-Yano tensors on the base space can be lifted to the symmetries of the full warped geometry. The procedure is explicitly illustrated on several examples, providing new prototypes of spacetimes admitting such tensors.

A single synonymous nucleotide change impacts the male-killing phenotype of prophage WO gene wmk
eLife, 2021 Wolbachia are the most widespread bacterial endosymbionts in animals. Within arthropods, these maternally transmitted bacteria can selfishly hijack host reproductive processes to increase the relative fitness of their transmitting females.
