A D-Alanine auxotrophic live vaccine is effective against lethal infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesVirulence, 2018
Staphylococcus aureus infections are becoming a major global health issue due to the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an effective vaccine to prevent and control these infections.

Biological effects of agricultural bio-materials on some blood and tissue factors in Balb/c mice [PDF]

open access: yesThe Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2020
Pseudomonas infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and saprophytic fungi are now increasingly being recognized as serious pathogens in immunocompromised patients.To investigate the effect of using bio-materials on mammalian tissues ...

A Salmonella virulence factor activates the NOD1/NOD2 signaling pathway. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The invasion-associated type III secretion system (T3SS-1) of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) activates the transcription factor NF-κB in tissue culture cells and induces inflammatory responses in animal models through unknown ...

Impaired peripheral nerve regeneration in a mutant strain of mice (Enr) with a Schwann cell defect [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 1995
Schwann cell-axon interactions in the development, maintenance, and regeneration of the normal peripheral nervous system are complex. A previously described transgene-induced insertional mutation (BPFD#36), now referred to as Enervated (Enr), results in disrupted Schwann cell- axon interactions.

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

In Vitro and in Vivo Evaluation of Mutations in the NS Region of Lineage 2 West Nile Virus Associated with Neuroinvasiveness in a Mammalian Model

open access: yesViruses, 2016
West Nile virus (WNV) strains may differ significantly in neuroinvasiveness in vertebrate hosts. In contrast to genetic lineage 1 WNVs, molecular determinants of pathogenic lineage 2 strains have not been experimentally confirmed so far.

Mutant human myocilin induces strain specific differences in ocular hypertension and optic nerve damage in mice [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Eye Research, 2012
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a causative risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma. Glaucomatous mutations in myocilin (MYOC) damage the trabecular meshwork and elevate IOP in humans and in mice. Animal models of glaucoma are important to discover and better understand molecular pathogenic pathways and to test new glaucoma ...

YAP1::TFE3 mediates endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal plasticity in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The YAP1::TFE3 fusion protein drives endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plasticity, resulting in the loss of endothelial characteristics and gain of mesenchymal‐like properties, including resistance to anoikis, increased migratory capacity, and loss of contact growth inhibition in endothelial cells.

Premature ageing of lung alveoli and bone marrow cells from Terc deficient mice with different telomere lengths

open access: yesScientific Reports
Telomeres are terminal protective chromosome structures. Genetic variants in genes coding for proteins required for telomere maintenance cause rare, life-threatening Telomere Biology Disorders (TBDs) such as dyskeratosis congenita, aplastic anemia or ...

Peptidase PepP is a novel virulence factor of Campylobacter jejuni contributing to murine campylobacteriosis

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2020
Mechanisms of host–pathogen interactions resulting in immunopathological responses upon human Campylobacter jejuni infection are not completely understood, but the recent availability of murine infection models mimicking key features of ...
