Already, the researchers point out that zoonotic diseases such as Hantavirus hemorrhagic fever and the parasite Toxoplasma gondii have spread throughout the Arctic region. However, Dr Abbas ...

Seroprevalence of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in people across Inuit Nunangat and foxes as sentinels of environmental transmission in northern Canada (Bouchard et al., 2022).

The paper S. Kaur et al., “An unmet actin requirement explains the mitotic inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis,” eLife, 3:e00829, 2014. For decades, scientists observed clathrin-mediated ...

In pink, wild type cells expressing gamma actin. In black, knock-out cells that do not express gamma actin. The yellowish lines reveal the tortuous nature of the ...

Now, a team led by University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine researchers shows that the immune system indeed recognizes the latent stage of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii ...

While Toxoplasma gondii is a relevant microorganism to study in and of itself, it is also useful in furthering scientists' understanding of nervous system infections with latent stages in humans ...

Peer ReviewDownload a summary of the editorial decision process including editorial decision letters, reviewer comments and author responses to feedback. Actin-based motility is required for the ...

Through Bayesian analysis of single-cell datasets with variation in nuclear RELA, we predicted that RELA heterogeneity in PDAC cell lines is dependent on F-actin dynamics. RNA-seq analysis identified ...

Examples of parasites that manipulate the behavior of their hosts are not hard to come by, but scientists have only recently begun to understand how they induce such dramatic changes. Jef Akst was ...
