The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of severe diarrheal disease
known as cholera. Of the more than 200 “O” serogroups of this pathogen, O1 and O139 …

Distinct morphological MgO nanoparticles (MgONPs) were synthesized using biomasses of
Saussurea costus roots. The biomass of two varieties of Saussurea costus (Qustal hindi and …

Gasdermins are executioners of the inflammatory cell death pathway pyroptosis that has so
far been studied exclusively in vertebrates. In this study, we identified gasdermin E (GSDME) …

OmpU is a multimeric, cation selective outer membrane protein of Vibrio and related species
that non-covalently interact with peptidoglycan layer. Interaction of OmpU with human host …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea by evading
innate immunity. Colonizing the mucosa of the reproductive tract depends on the bacterial …

Gasdermin (GSDM) is a family of pore-forming proteins that, after cleavage by caspase
(CASP), induce a type of programmed necrotic cell death called pyroptosis. Gasdermin E …

There is an urgent need for treatments that not only reduce bacterial infection that occurs
during wounding but that also target the accompanying excessive inflammatory response …

Using the squid-vibrio association, we aimed to characterize the mechanism through which
Vibrio fischeri cells signal morphogenesis of the symbiotic light-emitting organ. The symbiont …

The development of nanotechnology in the last two decades has led to the use of silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) in various biomedical applications, including antimicrobial, anti …

Surveillance of Caenorhabditis elegans mitochondrial status is coupled to defense
responses such as drug detoxification, immunity, antiviral RNA interference (RNAi), and …
