Fatal Attraction: How Bacterial Adhesins Affect Host Signaling and What We Can Learn from Them
The ability of bacterial species to colonize and infect host organisms is critically dependent upon their capacity to adhere to cellular surfaces of the host. Adherence to cell surfaces is known to be essential for the activation and delivery of certain virulence factors, but can also directly affect host cell signaling to aid bacterial spread and survival. In this review we will discuss the re...
متن کاملDecays and What Can We Learn from Them?
This talk gives an introduction to some of the basic strong interaction issues we face in η and η decays. It will not cover weak decays. Simple dimensional analysis leads to branching ratios below 10 for weak η-decays and below 10 for weak η decays. These will obviously not be observed in the near future. It is possible to construct models that enhance η and η decays due to beyond the standard ...
متن کاملMaps in the brain: what can we learn from them?
In mammalian visual cortex, neurons are organized according to their functional properties into multiple maps such as retinotopic, ocular dominance, orientation preference, direction of motion, and others. What determines the organization of cortical maps? We argue that cortical maps reflect neuronal connectivity in intracortical circuits. Because connecting distant neurons requires costly wiri...
متن کاملAnimal models of psychogenic cardiovascular disorders: what we can learn from them and what we cannot.
1. Epidemiological and clinical studies from the past 50 years provide unequivocal evidence for a close association and causative links between psychological stresses and cardiovascular dysfunction in humans. Not surprisingly, numerous animal experiments have been undertaken in an attempt to clarify underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The present review focuses on animal models that provi...
متن کاملWhat Can We Learn from 21 Years of School Poisonings in New Zealand?
Background: Childhood poisoning is a significant international health concern. Very little is known about trends in exposures within schools and preschools. The objectives of this study were to investigate the data recorded by the New Zealand National Poisons Centre (NPC) on these types of exposures over a 21 year period (1989 to 2009) and to determine trends and propose strategies to reduce th...
