研究发现在生理激活条件下，人源及鼠源 T 细胞均可组成型内吞白蛋白；这些被内吞的白蛋白随后经溶酶体降解，进而维持mTORC1 信号通路活性及细胞因子合成，最终增强 T ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a significant cause of diarrhoeal disease worldwide, largely due to its ability to directly manipulate host cellular processes. Central to its pathogenesis ...

A GIF showing a protein mimicking IL-2 binding to IL-2 receptors, then changing shape in response to an effector molecule, which forces it off of one of the receptors. A protein mimicking IL-2 called ...

Cereals have natural resistance to pathogenic fungi, but powdery mildew, for example, can overcome this resistance. A team at ...

“Proteins float around in the cell and constantly bump into each other. How can you design rates at which biology happens fast?” Adam Broerman, a graduate student at the University of Washington (UW), ...

When a maize plant is attacked by the fungus Ustilago maydis, tumor-like tissue growths occur at the site of infection. How the pathogen causes this response in its host has long been unknown. But a ...

Cereals have natural resistance genes that can protect them from disease-causing fungi. However, certain fungi, such as powdery mildew, are known to be able to overcome such resistance. A team at the ...
