The helical rod structure and dynamic spring-like properties of the type 1 pilus are evolutionarily fine-tuned for functioning in host-pathogen interactions during urinary tract infection and gut colonization.

The transcription factor (TF)-binding specificities of Pseudomonas aeruginosa allow us to predict virulence-associated TFs and their target genes, which will facilitate to find effective treatment and prevention for its associated diseases.

The use of liquid-infused catheters results in significant reduction of bladder and catheter colonization, systemic dissemination, and bladder inflammation in a clinically relevant mouse model of CAUTI by targeting host-protein deposition on the urinary catheter.

The planarian mex3-1 gene is required for non-stem cell fates and suppresses a stem cell fate in differentiating cells.

Delineating Episyrphus balteatus transregional movements and pollination networks advance a deep understanding of its migration ecology and facilitate the design of targeted strategies to conserve and enhance its ecosystem services.

The crosstalk between autophagy and the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, two cellular clearance pathways, promotes the fusion of the double-membrane autophagosomes to the phagosomes and plays an important role in the degradation of engulfed apoptotic cells.

A new role for nephronectin and integrin α8 signaling during neural crest cell migration in the developing cornea has been identified.

By changing the smell of their host, entomopathogenic nematodes attract future hosts and increase their predation success.
