Yeast mating: Getting close to membrane merger
The machinery that mediates membrane fusion during yeast mating has remained elusive. But now a post-genomics approach has provided a powerful wedge into this difficult problem: a pheromone-induced multimembrane spanning protein has been identified as a key part of the mating machine.
متن کاملGetting Close without Touching
In this paper we study the Near-Gathering problem for a set of asynchronous, anonymous, oblivious and autonomous mobile robots with limited visibility moving in LookCompute-Move (LCM) cycles: In this problem, the robots have to get close enough to each other, so that every robot can see all the others, without touching (i.e., colliding) with any other robot. The importance of this problem might...
متن کاملToxoplasma-safe meat: close to reality?
In 2008, the centennial of the discovery of Toxoplasma gondii was celebrated. However, toxoplasmosis is still seen as a neglected and underreported disease, despite having a disease burden similar to that of salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis. Human vaccines are not available and current antiparasitic treatment is disappointing. This has led to an urge to focus more on prevention. Food, soil ...
متن کاملDesigning malaria vaccines to circumvent antigen variability✩
Prospects for malaria eradication will be greatly enhanced by an effective vaccine, but parasite genetic diversity poses a major impediment to malaria vaccine efficacy. In recent pre-clinical and field trials, vaccines based on polymorphic Plasmodium falciparum antigens have shown efficacy only against homologous strains, raising the specter of allele-specific immunity such as that which plague...
متن کاملTransmission blocking malaria vaccines: Assays and candidates in clinical development.
Stimulated by recent advances in malaria control and increased funding, the elimination of malaria is now considered to be an attainable goal for an increasing number of malaria-endemic regions. This has boosted the interest in transmission-reducing interventions including vaccines that target sexual, sporogenic, and/or mosquito-stage antigens to interrupt malaria transmission (SSM-VIMT). SSM-V...
