  • Host-directed therapies for infectious diseases: current status, recent progress, and future prospects. (cdc.gov)
  • Repeating interactions with certain types of pathogens during phylogeny might cause the development of structurally similar molecules in unrelated organisms. (cuni.cz)
  • Host range: Well-known pathogen of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) and most species of the Beta genus. (usda.gov)
  • This group showed that RNA expression signatures can be used to identify a variety of common pathogens rapidly and specifically using RNA probes that target sequences highly conserved within but not shared between pathogenic species. (massgeneral.org)
  • Despite their proximity to each other, related species can react very differently to the same pathogen. (cuni.cz)

  • There is a strong correlation of some pathogens with various cancer types, such as Helicobacter pylori with gastric cancer. (nih.gov)
  • Exciting applications are expected in nanomedicine, particularly for understanding pathogen-drug and pathogen-host interactions, and for designing new antimicrobial therapies (e.g., drug screening and antiadhesive molecules). (medscape.com)
  • By providing quantitative insights into the binding strength of cell-adhesion proteins, [ 28-30 ] SMFS offers a means to understand pathogen-host adhesion at the single-cell and single-molecule levels. (medscape.com)
  • AFM imaging enables researchers to observe microbial cell walls at high resolution, as well as their remodeling upon interaction with drugs. (medscape.com)
  • We found that its proteins interfere with the functioning of host apoptosis pathway, cytokine and chemokine pathways, and also cell-cell adhesions. (nih.gov)
  • Within this intravacuolar niche, L. pneumophila can replicate to high numbers before it kills the host cell and infects neighboring cells. (nih.gov)
  • The Molecular Biosciences Ph.D. interdisciplinary program focuses on the study of biological problems at the molecular level using chemical, computational, mathematical, physical, and statistical approaches as well as conventional biological approaches. (mtsu.edu)
  • probes, molecular reporters and fluorescent indicators for structural or functional imaging or microscopy/nanoscopy. (nih.gov)
  • Instead of being degraded by these cells, the pathogen establishes a protective membrane compartment, the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV). (nih.gov)
  • The goals of this study were to (a) define which host genes are of particular importance during the interactions between macrophages and intracellular pathogens, and (b) use this knowledge to gain fresh, experimental understanding of how macrophage activities may be manipulated during host defense. (nih.gov)
  • Its goal is to understand molecular adaptations in immune genes that were caused by an interaction with a pathogen. (cuni.cz)
  • They could be explained by categorizing genes based on their functional interactions with other molecules. (cuni.cz)
  • The primary JEV vectors feed mainly on cows (a dead-end host for JEV), pigs (an amplifying host), and, occasionally, humans (a dead-end host). (bioone.org)
  • RLBV has many similarities in molecular structure to the family of bunyaviruses, which cause many important diseases in humans and animals. (hutton.ac.uk)
  • M proteins have antiphagocytic properties, bind various host proteins and are involved in adherence and invasion of host cells ( 6 - 12 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • Pathogens interact with the host mainly through proteins. (nih.gov)
  • It can be also expected that constitutively expressed proteins will have lower adaptive genetic variation than defense proteins, whose production starts after contact with the pathogen. (cuni.cz)
  • As pathogens continue to evolve in response to interaction with their hosts, gathering a more complete picture through paired epidemiology and genomic sequencing data will help to better understand this interaction and lead to even swifter responses to events of public health concern. (cdc.gov)
