Bacteriophage adhering to mucus provide a non-host-derived immunity.
Mucosal surfaces are a main entry point for pathogens and the principal sites of defense against infection. Both bacteria and phage are associated with this mucus. Here we show that phage-to-bacteria ratios were increased, relative to the adjacent environment, on all mucosal surfaces sampled, ranging from cnidarians to humans. In vitro studies of tissue culture cells with and without surface mu...
متن کاملThe human gastric colonizer Helicobacter pylori: a challenge for host-parasite glycobiology.
The Gram-negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori was first described in 1983 and currently represents one of the most active single research topics in biomedicine. It is specific for the human stomach and chronically colonizes a majority of the global population, which results in a symptom-free local inflammation. In 10-20% of carriers, gastroduodenal disease develops, including gastric or duode...

متن کاملEpidermal mucus, a major determinant in fish health: a review
Fish epidermal mucus contains innate immune components, secreted by globlet cells that provide the primary defence against different pathogenic microbes and act as a barrier between fish and its immediate niche. The major function of mucus includes entrapment and sloughing of microbes. The mucus also contains many factors such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), lysozymes, lectins, proteases, etc...
متن کاملFolate manages cell shape during neurulation.
Patents from papers both basic and applied Public funding for research depends on the idea that the resulting knowledge translates into socially valuable outcomes, such as medicines. Such linkages are easier to assert than to prove. Li et al. studied 27 years of grantlevel funding by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. About 10% of grants are directly cited by patents, suggesting some techn...
