Spirochaetes as intestinal pathogens: Lessons from a Brachyspira genome
Anaerobic spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira have long been known as important gut pathogens of pigs, but increasingly they are recognised as causing disease in birds and other animal species, including human beings. The genome sequence of the major swine pathogen Brachyspira hyodysenteriae was recently published, and this revealed extensive genome optimisation that leads to adaptation to th...
متن کاملClinical Trials and Novel Pathogens: Lessons Learned from SARS
During the recent global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), thousands of patients received treatments of uncertain efficacy and known toxicity such as ribavirin and corticosteroids. Despite this, no controlled clinical trials assessing the efficacy of these agents were conducted. If a second global SARS outbreak occurred, clinicians would not have controlled data on which to ...
متن کاملSpatial Control of Actin Filament Assembly Lessons from Listeria
the ability of cells to fix sites of actin assembly with The actin cytoskeleton of a eukaryotic cell is critical for a high degree of spatial resolution. For example, for many functions, including cell locomotion, cytokinesis, vectorial cell locomotion of a fibroblast to occur, actin intracellular transport, establishment of cell polarity, and assembly must be focused at the leading edge (Figur...
متن کاملActin organizer takes pathogens for a ride
he mating type (MAT) locus on Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome III can recombine with the HMRa locus near the right telomere or the HML ␣ locus near the left telomere of the same chromosome. On page 361, Bressan et al. show that the current mating type of a cell determines the spatial configuration of these three loci in the nucleus, suggesting that the outcome of mating type switching is di...
متن کاملNerve agents: Lessons from the Iranian experiences
On September 22, 1980 Iraqis attacked Iran's air bases and simultaneously entered Iran with six army divisions on three fronts and occupied a vast part of Iranian territories. At that time, Iraqis did not have chemical warfare. But in time, they began to develop an intensive research program to produce and store chemical weapons and used the war fields to test and perfect their chemical warfare...
