Anti-parasitic and Anti-viral Insect Immunity
Insects encounter many microorganisms in nature and to survive they have developed counter measures against the invading pathogens. In Drosophila melanogaster research on insect immunity has mainly been focused on infections by bacteria and fungi. We have explored the immune response against natural infections of the parasite Octosporea muscaedomesticae and the Drosophila C virus as compared to...
متن کاملExosomal communication goes viral.
Exosomes are small vesicles secreted from cells that participate in intercellular communication events. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that host exosome pathways are hijacked by viruses and that virally modified exosomes contribute to virus spread and immune evasion. In the case of tumor viruses, recent findings suggest that alterations in normal exosome biology may promote the development ...
متن کاملP‐TEFb goes viral
Positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb), which comprises cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) kinase and cyclin T subunits, is an essential kinase complex in human cells. Phosphorylation of the negative elongation factors by P-TEFb is required for productive elongation of transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (pol II). In addition, P-TEFb-mediated phosphorylation of...
متن کاملNeuroanatomy goes viral!
The nervous system is complex not simply because of the enormous number of neurons it contains but by virtue of the specificity with which they are connected. Unraveling this specificity is the task of neuroanatomy. In this endeavor, neuroanatomists have traditionally exploited an impressive array of tools ranging from the Golgi method to electron microscopy. An ideal method for studying anatom...
متن کاملGenomics Goes Viral
Epidemics are not a new event in human history. The Plague of Athens, one of the earliest documented outbreaks, hit the city state of Athens in ancient Greece during the PeloponnesianWar and killed thousands of people. Bubonic Plague and Cholera decimated one-third of the European population over the middle and modern ages. The deadly H1N1 influenza pandemic of 1918 infected more than 500 milli...
