Thyroid hormones (TH) are essential for the development of the human brain, growth and
cellular metabolism. Investigation of TH transporters became one of the emerging fields in …

Bacterial type IV secretion (T4S) systems mediate the transfer of macromolecular substrates
into various target cells, eg, the conjugative transfer of DNA into bacteria or the transfer of …

Schulein and C. Dehio, submitted). Two different virB mutants were constructed in B. …

The expanding genus Bartonella includes zoonotic and human-specific pathogens that can
cause a wide range of clinical manifestations. A productive infection allowing bacterial …

Submicrometer silicon photodiode waveguides, fabricated on silicon-on-insulator substrates,
have photoresponse from <1270 to 1740 nm (0.8 AW -1 at 1550 nm) and a 3-dB bandwidth …

Bartonella henselae is an arthropod‐borne zoonotic pathogen causing intraerythrocytic
bacteraemia in the feline reservoir host and a broad range of clinical manifestations in …

Proteins targeted to the secretory pathway start their intracellular journey by being
transported across biological membranes such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). A central …

… In the resulting plasmid pLAFR5-Km, the introduced km r gene is transcribed in the same
direction as the tc r gene and both respective antibiotics can be used to select for plasmid …

… To explore the mechanisms by which antagonists rescue intracellularly retained GPCRs, we
used the wild-type murine V 2 R (mV 2 R), which is predominantly retained within the ER as …

The modulation of host cell apoptosis by bacterial pathogens is of critical importance for the
outcome of the infection process. The capacity of Bartonella henselae and B. quintana to …
