Unveiling the immunomodulatory shift: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition Alters immune mechanisms of amniotic epithelial cells

iScience, 2023
Summary: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) changes cell phenotype by affecting immune properties of amniotic epithelial cells (AECs). The present study shows how the response to lipopolysaccharide of cells collected pre- (eAECs) and post-EMT (mAECs)

Genomic data of an environmental Escherichia coli isolate shows high resemblance to E. coli K-12 reference strain MG1655

Data in Brief, 2021
Escherichia coli species exhibits a high genomic diversification from evolution, mobile genetic elements and recombination. An environmental E. coli isolate, ‘JHI_5025’ from a crop trial appeared to be clonally related to the historical reference isolate
