- Slow growth causes bacterial persistence
Formation of Salmonella persister cells depends on slow growth (Pontes and Groisman in 30 July 2019 issue).
Research Articles
- Slow growth determines nonheritable antibiotic resistance in Salmonella enterica
Slow growth alone determines the persistence of Salmonella after antibiotic treatment.
- TNFR1 membrane reorganization promotes distinct modes of TNFα signaling
Nanoscale reorganization of TNFR1 within the plasma membrane promotes the activation of distinct signaling pathways.
- Noncompetitive inhibitors of TNFR1 probe conformational activation states
A small molecule that noncompetitively inhibits TNFR1 could be optimized to treat inflammatory diseases.
