1. Streptococci and Platelets - A Study of Host-Pathogen Interaction Dynamics
Abstract : Invasive infections remains one of the leading causes of death due to infections over the world, and efficient treatment remains elusive. One of the major causes of sepsis and other invasive infections is pathogenic streptococci that cause a wide range of clinical manifestations in humans. READ MORE

2. Host-Pathogen Responses during Giardia infections
Abstract : Giardia lamblia is a eukaryotic parasite of the upper small intestine of humans and animals. The infecting trophozoite cells do not invade the epithelium lining of the intestine, but attach to the brush border surface in the intestinal lumen. The giardiasis disease in humans is highly variable. READ MORE

3. Diving into short linear motifs : Large-scale identification of endogenous and host-pathogen protein-protein interactions and further characterized by deep mutational scanning
Abstract : Short linear motifs (SLiMs) are protein-protein interaction sites that play an essential role in distinct cellular processes. Those interactions are challenging to capture by common high-throughput methods. READ MORE

4. A holistic approach to host-pathogen interactions : Detecting the large to unravel the small
Abstract : Sepsis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the world, and is an overreaction by the immune system due to pathogen invasion of the bloodstream. The interactions, particularly the protein interactions, between the host and pathogen are fundamental for the outcome of the disease. READ MORE

5. MHC polymorphism and host-pathogen interactions: The case of Borrelia in its reservoir host, the bank vole Myodes glareolus
Abstract : The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIB genes exhibit extensive allelic polymorphism, most likely maintained by pathogen-mediated balancing selection (PMBS). PMBS may operate in the form of heterozygote advantage (HA), and/or through the interaction of pathogens and specific MHC alleles via fluctuating selection (FS) or negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS).
