The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a sophisticated molecular apparatus that many Gram‐negative bacterial pathogens deploy to inject effector proteins directly into host cells. This machinery ...

A unique characteristic of Helicobacter pylori could serve to end infections of this gastric bacterium. A group of scientists from the University of Munich have found that this pathogen has a ...

Uncontrolled secretion of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as collagen can lead to excessive scarring and fibrosis, and compromise tissue function. Researchers at the Center for Genomic ...

Scientists from the Centre for Genomic Regulation and collaborators have developed a new approach to limiting the amount of collagen produced by hyperactive fibroblasts, which could lead to effective ...
