Intracellular pathogens under attack
T he immune system provides a formidable barrier that prevents us from being overwhelmed by the numerous microbial pathogens that we encounter every day. However, many pathogens manage to escape the immune system by invading cells and replicating within them. To counter these pathogens immune cells produce a powerful cytokine called interferon-g that reprograms the invaded cells to express hund...
متن کاملFormaldehyde Stress Responses in Bacterial Pathogens
Formaldehyde is the simplest of all aldehydes and is highly cytotoxic. Its use and associated dangers from environmental exposure have been well documented. Detoxification systems for formaldehyde are found throughout the biological world and they are especially important in methylotrophic bacteria, which generate this compound as part of their metabolism of methanol. Formaldehyde metabolizing ...
متن کاملBubbles under stress.
We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of a system composed of two soap bubbles strained between two parallel solid surfaces. The two-bubble cluster can be found in several configurations. The existence and stability of each of these states is studied as a function of the distance between the two facing surfaces. The change of this distance can induce a transition from one con...
متن کاملThe lithosphere under stress
I discuss thermal, rheological and compositional definitions of the Earth’s lithosphere and describe the data that can be brought to bear in refining these definitions. Models of the behaviour of the lithosphere are useful in describing such diverse effects as continental basin subsidence, the flexural response to imposed loads such as seamounts or sediment accumulations, the partial melting of...
متن کاملDNA repair under stress.
When the excision repair process of eukaryote cells is arrested by inhibitors of repair synthesis including hydroxyurea (HU), 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (araC) or aphidicolin, major cellular changes follow the accumulation of repair-associated DNA breaks. These changes, each of which reflects more or less severe cellular stress, include cycle delay, chromosome behaviour, fall in NAD leve...
