The structure of the Legionella pneumophilaType IV secretion system provides the detailed molecular model of this complex molecular machine required for pathogenesis.
Intracellular growth of the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila in the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum implicates a bacterial fatty acid transporter as well as dynamic interactions of the distinct membrane-bound replication compartment with host cell lipid droplets.
Improvement in levels of anxious-depression corresponds with increased confidence in performance among individuals receiving mental health treatment within a large longitudinal dataset.
