Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli is an important cause of profuse, watery diarrhea in 32infants living developing regions the world. Typical strains EPEC (tEPEC) possess a virulence plasmid, while related clinical isolates that lack EAF plasmid are termed atypical (aEPEC). tEPEC and aEPEC tend to acute versus more 35chronic type infections, respectively. The encodes attachment factor as well regulatory operon, perABC. PerC, poorly understood regulator, was previously shown regulate...

Ionizing radiation (IR) has been linked to multiple types of cellular responses, but its effects on developing organisms are still poorly understood. The authors investigated whether zebrafish embryos exhibit differential responses relative IR dose and developmental age at time exposure. Early-stage were exposed different levels gamma then, varying points after irradiation, assayed for morphological defects cell death. To quantify in vivo low-dose exposure explore how tissue-specific...

Abstract Currently approved anti-influenza drugs target viral proteins, are subtype limited, and challenged by rising antiviral resistance. To overcome these limitations, we sought to identify a conserved essential RNA secondary structure within the genomic predicted have greater constraints on mutation in response therapeutics targeting this structure. Here, identified genetically validated an stemloop termed PSL2, which serves as packaging signal for genome segment PB2 is highly across...
