Mammalian membrane trafficking as seen through the lens of bacterial toxins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento Ribeiro De Mesquita, Oksana Andrei Sergeeva

A fundamental question of eukaryotic cell biology is how membrane organelles are organised and interact with each other. Cell biologists address these questions by characterising the structural features of membrane compartments and the mechanisms that coor ...

Gut physiology mediates a trade-off between adaptation to malnutrition and susceptibility to food-borne pathogens

Bruno Lemaitre, Sveta Chakrabarti

The animal gut plays a central role in tackling two common ecological challenges, nutrient shortage and food-borne parasites, the former by efficient digestion and nutrient absorption, the latter by acting as an immune organ and a barrier. It remains unkno ...
