The degradation of undesirable cellular components or organelles, including invading microbes,
by autophagy is crucial for cell survival. Here, Shigella, an invasive bacteria, was found …

In viruses, as in eukaryotes, elaborate mechanisms have evolved to protect the genome and
to ensure its timely replication and reliable transmission to progeny. Influenza A viruses are …

Tardigrades, also known as water bears, are small aquatic animals. Some tardigrade
species tolerate almost complete dehydration and exhibit extraordinary tolerance to various …

Using biochemical assays, it has been demonstrated that expression of Ebola virus VP40
alone in mammalian cells induced production of particles with a density similar to that of virions…

The membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinase MT1-MMP (also known as Mmp14) plays
a key role in the angiogenic process, but the mechanisms underlying its spatiotemporal …

Tooth structure can be regenerated by seeding dissociated tooth cells onto polyglycolic acid
fiber mesh, although the success rate of tooth production is low. The present study was …

Ebolavirus is responsible for highly lethal hemorrhagic fever. Like all viruses, it must
reproduce its various components and assemble them in cells in order to reproduce infectious …

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight single-stranded negative-sense RNA (vRNA)
segments. Although genome segmentation provides advantages such as genetic …

ACTH (ie, corticotropin) is the principal regulator of the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal
axis and stimulates steroidogenesis in the adrenal gland via the specific cell-surface …

We report here the construction of a triply fluorescent-tagged herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1)
expressing capsid protein VP26, tegument protein VP22, and envelope protein gB as …
