Regulatory Signaling Networks Governing Budding Yeast Filamentous Growth.
(2014)
In response to specific stresses, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes a morphogenetic program wherein cells elongate and interconnect, forming pseudohyphal filaments. This filamentous growth transition has ...
The Use of Laboratory and Agent-based Models to Evaluate the Role of Natural Transformation in Biofilms in the Formation and Spread of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Water Systems.
(2014)
Biofilms are aggregates of bacterial cells. Frequency of gene transfer in biofilms may be higher than in corresponding planktonic counterparts due to increased competence. Biofilms, antibiotics and antibiotic resistance ...
The Role of IL-25 in Innate Cytokine Production and Pulmonary Immunopathology.
(2014)
The mucosal surfaces of the lung and intestinal tract are areas at which heterogeneous immune populations must function in concert to maintain barrier integrity and coordinate appropriate responses to both pathogenic and ...
Molecular Mechanisms of Autophagy Induction and Mitochondrial Degradation in the Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
(2014)
Eukaryotic cells rely on autophagy to degrade damaged or excess proteins and organelles. Autophagy can occur in either nonselective or selective modes. Nonselective autophagy sequesters bulk cytoplasm; in contrast, selective ...
Inhibitory G-protein Modulation of CNS Excitability.
(2014)
Epilepsy represents a major health burden upon society. Approximately 30% of patients still remain symptomatic despite therapy. While not a current medicinal target for epilepsy, the family of inhibitory G-proteins appears ...
