When MARCH family proteins meet viral infections

When bugs meet cells

Early research into microbiological pathogenesis attempted to determine which microbial properties make micro-organisms pathogenic. Over time, however, a growing number of research projects began to focus on the intimate relationships between microbes and their hosts and, more precisely, on the consequences of infection for the cell biology of the host. This approach has brought together two tr...

When games meet learning

In a context characterized by a growing gap between youth digital culture and school culture some have claimed that games could "have the potential to change the landscape of education" (Shaffer, Squire, Halverson, & Gee, 2005). This paper examines the arguments and objections to using games for educational purposes. Firstly, we state that making a connection between gaming and learning is not ...

When cyclopropenes meet gold catalysts

Cyclopropenes as substrates entered the field of gold catalysis in 2008 and have proven to be valuable partners in a variety of gold-catalyzed reactions. The different contributions in this growing research area are summarized in this review.

Interaction of viral oncogenic proteins with the Wnt signaling pathway

It is estimated that up to 20% of all types of human cancers worldwide are attributed to viruses. The genome of oncogenic viruses carries genes that have protein products that act as oncoproteins in cell proliferation and transformation. The modulation of cell cycle control mechanisms, cellular regulatory and signaling pathways by oncogenic viruses, plays an important role in viral carcinogenes...
