Type IV pili—a numbers game
Type IV pili are long polymers located on the surface of a wide variety of bacterial cells, including the pathogenNeisseria meningitidis. They are responsible for a diverse range of functions, including adhesion, motility and natural transformation. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Imhaus and Duménil show that two minor pilins, PilX and PilV, exert some of their effects by changing mean surfa...

adiation can harm cells even if they don't take a direct hit, according to a new study. Injured cells apparently pass on damage to neighboring cells through gap junctions. The report has raised a ruckus because it suggests that current safety standards may underestimate the hazards from low-level radiation exposure Although some scientists suspected that radiation damage might spread from cell ...
متن کاملCytokines and Type 1 Diabetes: A Numbers Game
Cytokines are protein mediators of intercellular stress communication with autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine modes of action. Hormones differ from cytokines by being produced in specialized glandular organs, by not all being proteins, and by their homeostatic properties. Virtually all nucleated cells produce and respond to cytokines under defined conditions, mainly in response to stress signa...
متن کاملA Numbers-on-Foreheads Game
Is there a joint distribution of n random variables over the natural numbers, such that they always form an increasing sequence and whenever you take two subsets of the set of random variables of the same cardinality, their distribution is almost the same? We show that the answer is yes, but that the random variables will have to take values as large as 2 ...2 Θ( ǫ ) , where ǫ ≤ ǫn measures how...
