1. Insect immunity : Inducible antibacterial proteins from Hyalophora cecropia
Abstract : A powerful bactericidal activity can be induced in the hemolymph of many insects as a response to an injection of bacteria. The nature of the effector molecules of this immune response was investigated, using pupae of the Cecropia moth, Hyalophora cecropia. READ MORE

2. Interplay of human macrophages and Mycobacterium tuberculosis phenotypes
Abstract : Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the pathogen causing tuberculosis (TB), a disease most often affecting the lung. 1.5 million people die annually due to TB, mainly in low-income countries. READ MORE

3. Microbe-induced apoptosis in phagocytic cells and its role in innate immunity
Abstract : Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a controlled process by which aged or damages cells are eliminated in multicellular organisms. Neutrophils, short-lived phagocytes of the innate immune system, are highly equipped effectors that can sense, locate, ingest and kill bacterial pathogens. READ MORE

4. Small RNAs, Big Consequences : Post-transcriptional Regulation and Adaptive Immunity in Bacteria
Abstract : It is nowadays widely accepted that non-coding RNAs play important roles in post-transcriptional regulation of genes in all kingdoms of life. In bacteria, the largest group of RNA regulators are the small RNAs (sRNAs). READ MORE

5. Multifaceted RNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms in Streptococcus pyogenes
Abstract : Bacterial pathogens rely on precise regulation of gene expression to coordinate host infection processes and resist invasion by mobile genetic elements. An interconnected network of protein and RNA regulators dynamically controls the expression of virulence factors using a variety of mechanisms. READ MORE
