1. Timing Matters : Wounding and entomopathogenic nematode infection kinetics
Abstract : Over time, insects have developed complex strategies to defend themselves against presenting threats. However, in the evolutionary arms race of survival, pathogens have adapted to quickly overcome the immune response mounted by the host. READ MORE

2. Infection kinetics, phylogenetics, and host interactions of bacteriophages
Abstract : Bacteriophages, or as they are most commonly referred to as phages, are viruses which are capable of infecting bacteria. They are environmentally plenty, found everywhere from the ground we walk on to contributing to our microbiome. They are highly diverse, coming in various sizes, shapes, and genomic compositions.

3. Multiple functions of YopN in the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis type III secretion system : from regulation to in vivo infection
Abstract : The type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are virulence mechanisms used by various Gram-negative bacteria to overcome the host immunity. They are often target-cell contact induced and activated. Activation results in targeting of virulence effector substrates into host cells. READ MORE

4. Binding Kinetics of Proteins at Immune-Cell Contacts
Abstract : Protein-protein interactions are crucial in numerous cellular functions and biological processes that take place inside our body. It is therefore not surprising that these interactions also govern the response of our body´s defence mechanism, the so-called immune system, towards an infection. READ MORE

5. Immune Regulation During Malaria Infection
Abstract : Malaria is the largest parasitic disease in the world and is caused by the protozoon Plasmodium. The most severe form in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Immunity to malaria involves both cell-mediated and humoral responses and develops slowly over a period of ten to fifteen years, requiring repeated infections. READ MORE
