Envelope Stress Responses: An Interconnected Safety Net

Envelope Stress Responses: An Interconnected Safety Net.

The Escherichia coli cell envelope is a protective barrier at the frontline of interaction with the environment. Fidelity of envelope biogenesis must be monitored to establish and maintain a contiguous barrier. Indeed, the envelope must also be repaired and modified in response to environmental assaults. Envelope stress responses (ESRs) sense envelope damage or defects and alter the transcripto...

System Redesign Responses to Challenges in Safety-Net Systems

The nuclear envelope and its involvement in cellular stress responses.

The nuclear envelope is not only important for the structural integrity of the nucleus, but also involved in a number of cellular functions. It has been shown to be important for maintaining and controlling chromatin organization, sequestering transcription factors, replication, transcription and signalling. The nuclear envelope is thus important for development and differentiation, and some of...

Breastfeeding: Nature’s Safety Net

Breastfeeding is a natural safety-net for the first few months in order to give the child a fairer start to life. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recognizes the distinct nutritional advantages of human milk for infants and endorsed the position of the American Academy of Pediatrics on the promotion of breastfeeding. It therefore calls for increase in need to negotiate the roles and ...

Rethinking the safety net :

policy and research. Here, I focus on two. First, delivery of social service programs is very different from delivery of cash assistance programs. Whereas welfare or food stamp benefits can be delivered directly to recipients through the mail or an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card, most social services cannot be mailed or delivered to an individual at home. Instead, clients typically vis...
