The cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway is composed of three mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), Bck1, Mkk1/2, and Slt2, and is one of the main signaling pathways for fungal pathogenesis, cell wall synthesis, and integrity maintenance. In this study,

Pneumolysin activates neutrophil extracellular trap formation [PDF]
Summary The primary objective of the current study was to investigate the potential of the pneumococcal toxin, pneumolysin (Ply), to activate neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in vitro. Isolated human blood neutrophils were exposed to recombinant Ply (5-20 ng ml−1) for 30–90 min at 37°C and NET formation measured using the ...

Multidrug resistance (Mdr) proteins are critical proteins for maintenance of drug resistance in fungi. Mdr1 has been extensively studied in Candida albicans; its role in other fungi is largely unknown. In this study, we identified a homologous protein of

Mechanism of trapped surface formation [PDF]
By a combination of analytical and numerical methods, the density profile of a spherical star momentarily at rest is varied, and the corresponding response in the area of the spherical shells is monitored. It is shown that the inner apparent horizon (if it exists) must lie within or at most on the star's surface while no such restriction is found for ...

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Initiate Gallstone Formation [PDF]
The presence of gallstones (cholelithiasis) is a highly prevalent and severe disease and one of the leading causes of hospital admissions worldwide. Due to its substantial health impact, we investigated the biological mechanisms that lead to the formation and growth of gallstones.

Controlling the nature of a charged impurity in a bath of Feshbach dimers [PDF]
We theoretically study the dynamics of a trapped ion that is immersed in an ultracold gas of weakly bound atomic dimers created by a Feshbach resonance.
