eukaryotes, and there is evidence that they exist even in slime mold. The complexity and versatility of GPCR biology is apparent if we consider the fact that this signaling pathway evolved almost 1.2 billion years ago. The editors of G Protein-Coupled Receptors: Structure, Signaling, and Physiology successfully synthesize decades of research into a well-organized reference textbook. The layout ...

Disease caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) ranges from self-limiting diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Serotype O157:H7, the most frequently implicated STEC causing hemorrhagic colitis and HUS, has been isolated from large foodborne outbreaks, as well as sporadic cases, in North America and abroad. However, 60 STEC serotypes have been impl...

Interest in cytokines in infection is increasing exponentially both because of the central role these peptide molecules have in immune responses in a wide spectrum of human responses in health and disease1 and because they are likely to be pivotal in the development of new therapies and vaccine strategies. Immunity to infections and attempts by pathogens to avoid the host defence system provide...
