Host–Pathogen Interactions: Cheating the Host by Making New Connections

Host–Pathogen Interactions: Cheating the Host by Making New Connections

Dynamic signaling networks are required to perform complex cellular processes. Structural and functional data now indicate the intriguing possibility that extracellular bacterial pathogens use catalytic scaffolds to assemble unique supramolecular signaling networks that effectively subvert key cellular processes in the host.

Making new connections towards cooperation in the prisoner's dilemma game

Evolution of cooperation in the prisoner’s dilemma game is studied where initially all players are linked via a regular graph, having four neighbors each. Simultaneously with the strategy evolution, players are allowed to make new connections and thus permanently extend their neighborhoods, provided they have been successful in passing their strategy to the opponents. We show that this simple c...

Making connections

Kenney and Frankland. eLife 2014;3:e05504. DOI: 10.7554/eLife.05504 1 of 3 Autism spectrum disorders—such as Asperger syndrome and childhood autism—have long been known to have a significant genetic component (Ronald and Hoekstra, 2011). However, the biological basis of these disorders has remained largely elusive. Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism spectrum disorders (or ASDs), but m...

Making connections in the brain

Simultaneous measurements of neuronal activity and fMRI signals in the rat brain have shed new light on the origins of resting-state fMRI connectivity networks.
