Genomics and genetics were used to identify specialized metabolites employed by Pseudomonas bacteria to suppress the growth of potato pathogens, which revealed a key role for cyclic lipopeptides.
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.
Stem cell transplantation reduces intraocular pressure and preserves retinal ganglion cell function in a mouse glaucoma model, which could lead to a novel therapy for glaucoma to preserve vision.
Legionella pneumophila modulates host energy metabolism by targeting the ADP/ATP translocase carrier proteins with an effector of ADP-ribosyltransferase activity.
